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!

I have you beat 1979 Ford F-150. 17K original miles. Averages around under 600 miles a year.
 
Bought her in March of '04 with 35,800. I've now got just over 122,000, so that's around 86,200 since then, or about 22,500 per year. She's beautiful, and drives like she did all those miles ago. :cool:
 
I bought my car for $2500 with 59,3xx miles, in June 2005, and now I have 94,3xx miles. That means in two and a half years I've driven 35k miles! :shocked:

1966 Shelby Cobra Kit sitting in the garage... completed in 1993. Currently says 1693 Miles on the odometer in the speedo which reads about 25% higher than actual. So, that calculates to about 1354 miles in 15 years. 90 miles per year on average.

My SVT- bought 10/25/05 with 71,500. Currently at 89000. 7777 miles per year I but I only drive it Jan-Mar, and July-Sept. Almost all of the miles are highway- driving it to Michigan from Texas and back and forth across Michigan.
 
I Bought mine in October of 2002 with 56,000 on it and I am not at 124,750, so 68,750 in 5 years and 3 months aint bad.
 
Purchased mine in October 1999 w/ 27,000 on the clock for $9,500. It's just yesterday rolled over to 179,000. I do between 15,000 and 18,000 miles a year.

Had to rebuild the transmission at 85,000, just out of the extended warranty (isn't that always the case). While it was there I had a shift kit put in it and now run it with an oil cooler besides.

Otherwise it's been mechanically and electrically really good. Though I have had a pesky problem of late with the FEAD belt coming off in wet weather (and more recently in dry weather too!), but I think that's fixed now.
 
Bought mine from my brother three years ago......Had 52k on it when I bought it, now it has 115k....Little over 20k per year.....
 
The 99 SE I drove was bought with about 27K on it, when she dies she had about 132K I think, so a little over 100K in 5 years or so.

The 95 Mystique I had I bought with around 108K, and sold it with something like 128K a little over a year later.

The SVT had about 108K as well when I bought at the end of July/ early August, and I think I'm at about 118K right now.
 
Purchased my '95 new in early '96 (it was one of the last '95 models left - the dealer already had '96 models out). It had 85 miles on it.

Just turned 77777 miles the other day. So about 6.5K miles a year.

Yeah, it sat a lot while I racked up miles on the Mustang. And sat some more when the third kid came along (only room for 2 car seats in the 'Tour).
 
Bought my `96 in May of `00, drove the wheels off it, killed the CD4E, replaced with MTX-75, did a burnout in November of `05 and blew the diff, parked it and had the trans replaced again last summer. My nephew bought it off of me with over 150K on the clock. It had 74K when I bought it.

Put 12K miles on my old `07 Cummins in eight months of ownership.

Put roughly 2K miles on my `01 Cougar in two years.

Put about 600 miles on my SVT since I bought it last Feb.

The Volvo has had about 10K put onto it since November `05.

The 300 has had about 400 miles put onto it since I bought it last week.
