There’s a decades-old General Motors-powered vehicle sitting on the surface of the moon that has traveled fewer miles than the black 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe LT that was offered for sale in April at Napleton Chevrolet-Buick in Columbus, Wis.
GM engineered and provided the powertrain for the lunar rover that NASA sent 238,900 miles to the moon in July 1971. The Tahoe at Napleton had seen 313,761 miles pass under its wheels. The Tahoe’s upholstery showed little wear. There were no dings, dents or rust visible. The paint shone. Condition of the lunar rover: unknown.
The used-car inventory at Longo Toyota in El Monte, Calif., has included a number of vehicles whose odometers have climbed deep into six figures. They included a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 195,793 miles, a 2004 Infiniti G35 with 196,497 miles and a 2016 Toyota Prius with 360,117 miles — equivalent to more than 14 trips around the world at the equator.
