Since you bought your car....

I got you all beat. I bought the svt in november with 85,621 miles on over a 2 month period it only has 86,112 miles on it. Thats only 491 miles which averages to 54 miles a week. If I can keep this up, I will only put 2800 miles on my car a year, so it should last quite awhile!
 
13 months (87,000 miles)

9,000 miles (96,000 miles)

after next weekend, $7000 parts/labor :nonono: (crate engine, new clutch, new flywheel, little misc things)

Purchased 3/97 with 9k on the odo.

Currently coming up on 97k.

The miles are adding up faster now since it became my daily commuter last April; about 18k-20k annual rate.

Click to expand...

i've put 500 miles on easy in 2-3 days.

1000 in a week isnt too difficult.

Just a couple of months ago I did 500 miles in one day, driving to Cincinnati and back
 
benz-87,000 or so stopped running around 87,500 no 6th digit.

crown vic bought new from dealership w/ 4k in 2003
shared lesser of 35,000 w/ pops then took sole posession and just rolled 100k last week.

the contour, bought last month 135k,
drove it up the block last week to McD's once I got all the wiring reassembled in the dash,
stalled out about 25 times, so this is what it's like driving a manual.

the 98 zetech...got it at 92,000 miles drove it to 145,000 where the tranny got sick

the 2000 SE I got at 164,000 now at 165000....Only had it since Dec and had not job at the time...so no place to drive it lol
 
Owned my GL for roughly 5 years and in that time put on about 50,000 miles
So about 10,000/yr

Cougar turns 7 in April this year and she has pretty close to 30,000 IIRC, so like 4,200/yr :laugh:

I've had the MS6 for roughly 9 months and it's at 9,200 miles.

F350 turns 4 in May and has about 42,000 on her right now.
