How to get a free car in three easy steps

If the car has another driver, and/or is used for cross country trips, then I can see the mileage as legit.  She lives in Kansas, which is pretty darn flat, and with lots of open roads.  That sort of mileage is about right for the people I know who drive pilot cars.  I wonder if that is a large part of her "delivery" work.

 

That pic would be very confusing out of context

I think you guys are all focusing on the wrong thing here. "Woman puts a E36 M3-load of miles on Hyundai - She is relying on the car to do her job. Hyundai recognizes gives her a new car. " Cool story, nice gesture from Hyundai, good press.

So what if the car has actually only ran 900Kmiles? "One million" sounds better in the press release.

I second the vote for some sort of medical supply delivery driver.  I looked into a gig once doing that and it involved well over 300 miles a day in Kentucky, I can see a state like Kansas easily having routes of over 500 miles.  I'd hope she gets reimbursed for the mileage but geeze that much time behind the wheel would get old after about one day.

No thanks. I don't want a Hyundai for free. 

Yea, it's not like they last 1 million miles or anything...

Doesn't matter if it lasts 10M miles. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a Hyundai for that amount of miles. YMMV.

Im driving 180 mils round trip for a short term job and let me assure you...its enough.

I dont think you could pay me enough to drive that much

Sure could get through a lot of Podcasts and Audiobooks that way.

What is it they say about fixing something? Considering I've put my money where my mouth is repeatedly I'd sure as hell take one. 

I once knew an auto parts delivery guy who had over 700k on his van.  He previously drove a route for AC Delco (in his Ford) and that's where most of those miles were accumulated.  He wanted to keep it until 1,000,000.  It was less than 10 years old at the time, and he was down to about 80k a year.  Lots of windshield time.  No thanks.
