1995 740i - sold @ 210k (really only sold it as I had a second E38 already)
1983 300SD - sold @ 270k (wish I still had it)
1987 420SEL - sold @ 240k (almost wish I still had it)

Have not sold but will donate 2001 Yukon @ 290k. Yes, almost 300k on the clock.
Will not die... Ummm... Now that I may have the room... Ummm.... oh snap. yeah -Donate!

I must have a golden touch. None of the cars I have disposed of had given me any trouble at all - I just move them out as I get nervous that they 'might' give me trouble.
The buyer of the 300SD contacted me a few years after I sold it to him and let me know the car had about 400k on it by then (and he wanted to know when I was going to sell him his next car - lol)
Curious about your Yukon. Does it have a 350 in it ?? And did you fix anything major on the engine ??

The reason I'm asking is that I just rebuilt the tranny on my beater that has 175k miles on it. It was either that, for spend money on a newer truck. I don't use it enough to warrant a needless expenditure, so I decided to just fix it.

It has a sagging headliner, some of the clear coat is peeling, paint areas fading, etc. Thought about fixing these minor items, but it is my beater, and adds character. So basically, it has new tires and a new transmission, and I'm going to see just how long I can make it last.
