I have a client that Bought a new vehicle in June ('04) that qualified for Sec 179 >6,000 lbs, which we claimed for 77% business use. But he also had another car for the first part of the year that he used in business, and kept a mileage log. The business miles logged was 9,857. Can he claim those miles at the standard rate?

Yes, assuming the car met the rules for claiming the standard rate (ie:no prior accelerated Macrs, etc.).
