Your comment was wrong three years ago and still is now. The comments in that LeSabre review pertain to the FACT that cars made up until the mid to late 1980's were, for the most part, considered junk by the time they hit 100K miles and THAT is why the odometers back then only registered up to 99,999 miles. Yeah there were exceptions and we'll certainly hear some story about somebody's 1970 whatever that made it past 100K miles and kept going, but most of the vehicles made back then... didn't. It's not a "belief" that they were "not meant to go over that", it's a fact that most did not. This contradicts the BELIEF, stated ad nauseam in comments here, that those old cars were built better and lasted longer than modern cars. They weren't and they didn't. Anyone who BELIEVES otherwise is welcome to supply proof in support, but anecdotes about that 1970 whatever making it past 100K miles... are not it.
