Craigslist is a fascinating place.  You can buy and sell pretty much anything there.  Even a car with nearly a million miles on it.

Yeah, you read that right.  One million miles (actually, it’s $930,000 miles).  It’s a 1995 black Honda Civic.  Seems the owner racked up those miles by driving back and forth from Atlanta to the West Coast for business. 

I don’t know what kind of effort, time, and preventative maintenance it takes to make your car able to travel a million miles, but I know that I don’t want to do it.  Do you realize how many oil changes this guy must have paid for?  And how many new cars he could have bought with the money he spent on oil changes?

This is a solid gold marketing opportunity for Honda.  They should buy the car immediately (who cares what it costs?) and make this man and this car the centerpiece of their advertising.  “Our cars can go a million miles or more.”  That’s assuming, of course, that they aren’t behind this thing from the get go–in which case they’re geniuses.  Honda’s already have a reputation of lasting longer than American-made vehicles, but I don’t think anyone thought they could last this long.
