We had a 1968 Toyota Corona (not as spiffy looking as the one in the picture). It ran forEVer -- near the end, you could look through the rusted hole in the floor and watch the road go by. We eventually sold it for $300 or something, to a newlywed couple who didn't have wheels and needed to get to their new jobs in Michigan (we're in Colorado). Apparently, it ran like a champ all the way across the country, and continued to serve them until its death a year or two later. The odometer rolled over so many times we lost count -- there could easily have been a million miles on that car. 500k for sure.
