Volvo High Milage Club...
 

Here is a link to Volvo's High Milage Club. They also have a link to the Video that talks about Ivy's 2.7 million miles on his P1800.

Volvo use to give metal badges for cars that had over 100,000 miles on them. They gave a badge for every 100k. Then they scaled back to a badge at 100k, 250k, 500k, 750k, etc.. Now I don't think they give a badge at all. Maybe a certificate. I whish they would at least let you purchase the badge. I had several of them on my 740 and one on my 262c.

Wow, thats an amazing amount of Miles,., i have 250.000 miles on my 1996 850 tdi, but cant join the club as im from Ireland,. cheers.ted.:(:confused:

If you join the high milage club on the Volvo site they send you a certificate and a decal. I just signed up my '88 760 on there.

The high mileage club would probably have a lot more members if Volvo had used a different design for their odometers and a different supplier for that damn plastic gear...

I hear you there. I think resetting the trip causes fast failure. I spoke with a guy Sunday that had 324,000 on his yellow T-5R and his odometer was still clicking. He was not aware that Volvo's have a odometer problem. :cool:

I too think resetting trip meters can mess things up...particularly if the car is rolling. I replaced an odometer gear for the first time in my 240 years ago...the gear was softer than a pencil eraser. I literally wiped teeth off of the gear with a flick of my finger nail. Sad...
Here's Irv's car back in 2008...guess that's the last time I've seen it...

Just joined the club. Will get a certificate and a decal for my 210, 394 miles. Will get another at 300,000.

Joined a few months ago, all you get is a sticker and a certificate.
270K and all I get is a sticker?

That's it. I guess the metal badges were costing Volvo to much.

And, you dont need to buy a new car either!!

I received my High Mileage Club stuff back from Volvo yesterday. This is what I got:

1. Letter
2. Certificate
3. Window sticker "100,000"
4. A 20% off (max $100) mail in rebate.

Well worth my time to complete the online form. I'm going to get the "R" spoiler and use the rebate to knock $65 off of the price. Sweet!!! I think it was cheaper to do the metal badges that give someone 20% off of parts and/or service.

Just got my 200,000 mile sticker in the mail. It will look good next to my 100,000 mile sticker!!!!! On to 300,000.

200,000 Mile sticker...
 

Did you get anything else with the sticker?

A certificate and a 20% off coupon also.

once upon a time I had a '82 240 wagon and the odometer stopped at 645,398 miles. the clutch let go so I had it sitting in my yard waiting for me to fix it and my eldest son, on his 2 week anniversary of getting his license, smacked up the front end of my '87 240,( had 86k on it). I ended up taking the nose off of the '82 and putting it on the '87. sad day...

Congrats to MattyXXL on passing 400,000. I hope it sees 500,000 some day.

Yup. I got a lot more interesting stuff when I joined the Volvo Mile High Club!:eek:

Ha Ha!!! :). So THAT'S why I bought a station wagon.

Thank You Sir!!
It has been a great running with this 854..
Im waiting on my 400k cert from volvo..
I got a call form Deel & weston volvo which is my local dealers, They asked me if I would be willing to show my high milage 854 in their July 4th BBQ...:D I have A LOT of work to do before then...
The have 6 other high mileage Volvo's coming from south Florida, one is a 242 with 790,000 he plans to break 800,000 before the BBQ... Thats just nuts__ 800,000...:eek::eek:

Man that's to cool. I believe that we help sell Volvo's by keeping these old Volvo's on the road & looking good. I hope to put 500,000 on the wagon we just got. Most of them really are good cars.
