My '97 elantra wagon had 305,000 KM on it, which is about 190,000 miles when it got towed away. My dad bought it in '99 with 60,000km (around 37,000 miles). It would have kept going too except I crunched the front end on it and wasn't worth fixing. Great car though, it was our first Hyundai and we havn't bought anything else since!
I know this is an older post but I thought I would throw mine in as well! I bought my 97 Tib in June of 2004 it had about 114,000m on it when I just got the new engine (even though it didnt need it) this past month I was a little over 216,000m!! It was still going and I probably could've gone another 40,000m but to me it was a matter of feeling safer driving over to eastern washington to see my parents
