I just bought mine and it is supposed to have around 300,000 miles. The odometer is broke and I am in the process of fixing that.

96 850 Turbo. 135000 miles on the odometer right now, bought it 6 months ago with 129000. Runs like a swiss watch, at the full throttle this thing is insane.

First one had 206K on it when the engine just started knocking one day and I sold it for $800 with an engine that was shot. Still kicking myself in the butt for not replacing the engine.

95 850 T5R 164k
97 850 R 195K
98 V70 GLT 134K

The 98 oddometer does stop intermittently though recently. Not sure what is wrong.

Mine are young yet.

97 850 GLT 136K
97 850 R 88K

Just did the PCV system on my R, Jim had me worried with the issues he was having, but it went back together fine.

95' 850 Turbo with 213,000+ miles on it. Still runs like new. I know that, b/c my relatives who originally owned it brought it brand new in Sept. of 95'.

1994 N/A - 218k true miles - I corrected the odometer.

1996 N/A - give or take 150k miles - my kid has it at college so I am not sure - the last time I saw it it around 148k and I fixed his odometer within a couple of hundred miles from when it broke.

1996 Platinum 147k miles which is not really accurate since the odometer was broken when I bought it. The PO said it had only been broken for a couple of thousand miles but he said a lot of other things that weren't true.
