As long as you make the trip to your girls house worth it each time (hint:

)

 

yeah, i drive a lot too.. but not nearly as much as you :lol:

I got my car in the middle of November '03 with 19K miles on it, and I'm a little under 29K miles right now. I always put a lot of miles on my car. I had a Honda Prelude for 3 1/2 years, got it with 70K miles, by the time I was done, I had put 55K miles on it, sold it with about 125K on it.

 

i just hit 40k tonight :sad: and i've had the car for less than 3 years..... too many trips to LA and SF

 

Bought my '99 in Feb 2002 when it had 40,000 miles on it.

I (hopefully) trade it in tonight and it has....115,000 miles on it.

Yeah, I drive a lot...

 

I feel your pain.... Had my last car for just over three years, and put 100,000+ miles on it...
I'm driving 85 miles round trip to work, not including driving out for dinner or shopping errands.

I figure that when I buy my next car in 2008 I'll have about 170,000 on my 2000 GLX. But hey, my main car in high school beat that in it's first few years... When I sold the '73 superbeetle, it had an estimated 553,500 miles on it. Took two engines....

 

I put on 52mi a day, average. Work is 37mi by itself, but the weekends are compensated by my monthly trips to NJ (NYC area).

 

I have made 3 trips to North Carolina in the past 4 weeks 500+ miles each way.

I have been getting lots of highway cruise time

And there are plenty more trips scheduled in the near future.

1998 monte carlo, bought 03/2003 had 45,405 miles, now has ~77,500

That's about 72 miles in a day..

89 mustang - 170,550 on it last month when I bought it, 172,700 on it as of today...

in short? .. .. .. a lot of us drive way too much

 

I don't drive my car much. I only put on it 1200 mi each month. I work in Downtown Toronto and it costs a lot to park down there. so I take the Subway. :lol:

 

Buy a beater. If you plan on trading your car in then I HIGHLY suggest one.

 

that's alot of miles...

i put 4500 miles on my Evo and had it for 13 months... :lol:

 

2000 Variant, picked up 12/23/99
as of today, just under 116K.

Other than a couple of MAF sensors, no real problems :thumbup:

 

Well, that's a good thing isn't it? You bought the car to drive it!

A coworker of mine bought a really nice $40k pickup (can't remember what kind). He doesn't want to drive it anywhere because he "hates to put miles on it". It sits in his garage and he drives his other car everywhere unless he has a use for his truck. He never got to enjoy it, eventually sold it, and still took a bath even with his low miles.

A car, never being a good investment, should be driven and enjoyed. Hell, I traded in my '99 M3 with just under 100K miles on it. Sure, I took a bit of a hit because the mileage was high, but I spent five very fun years tooling around in that thing.

Hey scfb518t,

I would have gladly sold it to you... I think it's actually still on the lot for sale over at Don Jacobs here in Lexington, KY. It's a titan Silver/Black Leather '99 M3 loaded - even had the kick ass ultra-light wheels on it. I got it new in '99, and was the only owner, with the vast majority of the miles being on the highway. It's in great condition - the interior (especially) is nearly in perfect condition. If you're seriously interested, give Jason McCurry a call @ (859)276-3546. Tell him you're interested in Abe's car and he'll know the one you're talking about. :lol:
