Highest mileage I've seen on a hybrid
#1
There's an 2000 Insight on ebay with over 162,000 miles on it.
So for those worried about longevity. Here's proof that it has been done.

Hi Jason:
___The Prius Taxi driver was from Vancouver, BC. IIRC. As far as a pack replacement, when a Hybrid pushes into the 150,000 + mile range, I wouldn’t be testing the waters knowing that a high probability of a pack replacement exists in any of them …

Here is what I found at eartheasy.com:
I tried to search for the article at the Vancouver Sun, but they only allowed searches 7 days back in time.
Recently a Vancouver-based Toyota Prius hybrid car used as a taxi was taken off the road with over 332,000 km (206,295 miles) on the odometer, with no major repairs during the car's history. It was taken out of service because Toyota in Japan wanted to to strip it down and check everything out. The driver was given a new Prius at no charge. from the Vancouver Sun

ME: "just curious: How did you manage to put on 186,000 miles in only 4 years? Are you a traveling saleman perhaps?"
SELLER: I let my mother drive it to church on sundays.
A smart-*** response. I wouldn't bid for this car...
You want to see something truly amazing? A Honda dealer near Washington D.C. has a Civic with 1.1 million miles. That's 1,100,000!

Sorry I can't find the original article, but I've seen it with my own eyes. It was really beat up from 1.1 million miles of travel.
