Easy way to do this is to just buy a Honda or Toyota, and live in a place where they don't put salt on the roads. My '88 pickup probably has close to 250K (don't know for sure, 'cause the speedometer gear went out a while back, and I haven't bothered to fix it - the only mechanical problem I've had with it). '00 Insight is creeping up on 170K, and likewise no significant problems. Don't know if they'll reach a million miles: at roughly 7500 miles/yr for the Honda and 3000 for the Toyota, we'll probably run out of oil long before either reaches that mark, even if I'm still around to see it.
