My FG Turbo utes at 139000km. I've been looking at trading, no-one seems concerned about the km's. Maybe they don't care because trade on Falcons are bad anyway : :(

Had a look at carsales, the highest KM VE I could find was at 350,000km.

Also spotted a 2006 BF XT ex Taxi at 703,000km.

I was in a fg taxi the other day, had about 270k on it, engine light was on, seemed to run ok, till it stalled at the lights, other than that body was alright

ive got a mate with a 2006 ve commodore with 300k on the clock, thing still goes as hard as a brand new one, he says it dosnt burn any noticeable amount of oil..... I replace some o2 sensors and an oil pressure switch on it not long ago, body and trim is in good condition with no rattles
