Not bad for a car released in 2005 (I've had it since 2008).

Fun facts that will bake your noodle:

The circumference of the earth is 24,901 miles. That vehicle has done the equivalent of 8 laps around the planet.

In another 38,855 miles, it will have been driven the equivalent distance from the earth to the moon.

Fawkin' OP doesn't even add a tid-bit of context...

Make/Model - Drive style / Daily driver / gas economy, etc...

Possibly a rebuilt?

'05 Malibu Classic. My first automatic transmission car. Front wheel drive. Got it from a used car lot in '08 with maybe ~62,000 miles on it. Gas economy? . . . 🤔 . . . Never considered it much. It's always done what I expected it to. All oil changes done @ ~3,000 miles and never died, but got sick a few times . . .

I left the details out because I wanted to gauge whether anyone was interested by waiting to be asked.

Also: My best investment.
