Is this in the cup? How on earth have you racked up that many miles!!! What year is it?

 

[y0z2a]

11 1/2 months old. November 52 plate

:-(

how on earth... errr dunno really... the first 5/6 months i only used it 3 days a week to go to work and the airport and that was it...

 

[wackojacko]

now 31 aint that bad, but just think (Im the same boat)

Who the FCUK is going 2 wanna buy that car in 3years time(presuming u work on a 3year cycle)

Mine might have 2 go after 2years wid "only" 60k on it

Thought mine was bad with 26000 on an April 02 plate !!

 

[Rasclart]

Loads and loads ov Valvers Over 100K and still going strong

There was a 172 that was for sale for £6K on Ebay with 104,000 on the clock!

 

[king.stromba]

Id rather buy a well looked after 104,000 miler than a neglected 50,000 mile car.

 

[connor]

too right

well ive got a 53 plate, 3 weeks old and already got 2.2k on the clock! so if i carry on the way im going theres no way someones gonna want to buy it in 3 years!!! and plus ive gotta extend the ol insurance thing saying 12000 in a year! likely!! im gonna have my major service in the first 8months if i carry on like this! lol

but yoz, thats crazy!!

 

[y0z2a]

humph...

i know... but i cant help it... it get oil and oil filter changed ever 6 k, serviced when expected... new tyres every 10,000 miles...

what else can i do?

 

[Gareth]

mine is a november 2002 as well, i thought i was doing bad with 16,000!!

 

[rt172]

Yoz2a, how much is your cup up for sale for out of interest?

 

[y0z2a]

I am looking for £9750.

Parkers suggest nearly 10, i think it is a reasonable assumption that i can sell it privately with the phone kit left in it for £9750.

I havent advertised it anywhere yet, but will do so soon.

/y0z

 

[y0z2a]

39,000

:-(

[Weeman]

Ive had mine since, the Start of march 2003, and its done a whopping 48,500kms. Thats on a par with the starship enterprise I think.

[Pete]

3500 miles on a 53 plate, sh*t I was worrid that mine was gunna be a high miler with about 16k a year. That reminds me must change my insurance, still only says 6000 a year.

**edit** Insurance updated from 6000 to 12000 miles a year at a cost of £65, not bad.

[Hippychick]

My 172 will remain an enigma, as it will remain at the 9K it did in about three months or so i had it

And i enjoyed every one of them
