Mileage!!!!

[Adam69]

Bought my car (Clio 182 Cup Racing Blue 2005 reg) with 13600 on the clock. In 4 months I have only done 715 miles. This means if I continue to use my car this little then I will cover 2145 miles in a year and by the time I sell it which will be in about three years I would of done 6345 miles. Is anyone else this an#l with their mileage for value purposes. It's just that I'm thinking that I'm not actually using the dam thing and not enjoying it!!!!

[AliasOmega]

Sept 06 car is on 41,000miles.

Work that one out eh...

 

[Timmay]

I doubt low mileage will add fook all on the way prices are. My 2005 182 has 3800 miles on it though, so yours is high mileage! lol

 

[kully]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^bloody hell rich , u actually done that much

 

[Adam69]

Think the may reason to keep mileage low is due the owner before enjoying it too much! but your right, mileage only really adds on around 400 pounds at the end of the day. Would rather have 400 pounds worth of fun!!!

 

[Rich]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^bloody hell rich , u actually done that much

Been the summer, thats when I do my 2000 miles a year in it

 

[hellsbells]

in 7 months ive done 2584

 

[JBarber]

^ you must spend more time cleaning than driving LOL! My June 05 182 is just coming up to 11k and I thought that was low

 

[Djw John]

Why bother trying to keep the value up by not driving it? May as well just use a bus all the tim einstead, aint ever gonn amkae a mint from running cars! Ibought mine iwth 24000 miles on 3 and a hal years ago, now has 87000 miles on it, what can I say, I like driving it!

 

[Billytheclio]

got mine in may this year when it had done 7500 and now ive dont 14350ish Do I drive too much????

 

[Hugo-]

i've done 1500 miles since october last year (perks of a company car)

 

[172 Dave]

i bought it to drive it, theyre my miles and my clocks ill have my moneys worth ta.

 

[Ross M]

ive done 17000 miles and ive had the car 9 months

 

[172 Dave]

ive done 17000 miles and ive had the car 9 months

goooood man - impressive

 

[MarkCup]

The cost per mile in depreciation alone for you low-mileage guys is horrendous.

The only way to minimise that is get out there and rag it every single day

68K for me in 2.5 years.

 

[hellsbells]

i only use my car for work..

 

[Benson03]

I have had my Clio 3 weeks and done about 1500 miles so not bad really!!

 

[MikeDX]

14k miles for me in 10 months...

 

[al]

got mine in may this year when it had done 7500 and now ive dont 14350ish Do I drive too much????

You know you love it tho!

 

[CUPCRAZY]

Bought my CUP in May 52 reg with 16k on the clock whihc was the lowest milage one I looked at.

WHO HAS THE LOWEST MILAGE 52 PLATE.


Mine now has 20k which must be a contenter.

 

[Pep]

ive got an 04 clio, its done 16500ish miles!
which aint bad for it because its a 1.2 and most have a fairly average mileage on them!

but i wouldnt not drive it for value purposes, if i want to drive it, i do! i paid my money for it so its mine!
but i am glad the previous owner was steady, means i get more fun out of the whoel car before bits need replacing!!!

 

[SimonD]

I've done 20,000 miles in a year. That's what a round trip of 60 miles a day for work does for your car! Agree with the above though, what's the point of buying a great drivers car like a 172/182 and then sticking it in the garage?

 

[tidyclio]

I've done 115k in 3 years since new can anyone top that?

Whats the point in haveing a car like that if your only gonna do that little millage what a waste you may has well get a scrapper.

 

[d_tyler]

Bought car in May 2006, had 11300 on the clock. Now has 17500. I only work 5 miles form home and dont have to any driving for work. So all those miles have been for fun

 

[Ryan]

Put 2.5k miles on mine in the space of about 6weeks

 

[StevieMcK]

Got my 182 in Feb 06 and it's in for it's 12K service today (although it was actually at 12950... nothing like using that extra 1000 miles window you have to get it serviced in.) Almost 13000 in 6.5 months

At least 5000 of them were travelling backwards and forwards to Hampshire to see my ex's family... thank god that relationship is over!

is your car in East lane paisley for its service ?

 

[Brasseye]

gonna be 12k in 12 months for me..
very usuall
i dont think you get much more for low miles..but
if the buyer has a choice of 2 the mileage may turn his/her head to yours

 

[Fletcher]

My Mk2 172's done around 14K in 9 months.

 

[Alex_225]

Got my Megane 225 new back in January and I've just gone over the 2000 miles mark!!!

I commute by train to work and mainly drive to the missus place or out an about a bit. Been to a few cruises, shows etc but thats been it really.

And I'm looking at buying a second car now!! lol Its nice to have a car that I get to drive just for my sake rather than for commuting.

 

[miltage2]

my car was new in June 2005, just rolled over 8000 miles this morning!

 

[jiminy]

im confused, if you only do silly low millage, why buy a hot hatch?

if its for commuting why not buy a cheap little sensible car?

if its for fun, why not buy a great weekend car?

 

[edde]

I've done 115k in 3 years since new can anyone top that?

Nope you win I think not many Mk2's on the forum with over 100k.
I've only done 74k in 4 years

 

[klp clio]

brought my car in 2002 with 14000 and now done 107000 not low miles anymore ha but lots of site seeing

 

[polarbert]

I thought that Harry Manbacks had quite a high amount on it?

 

[bmh.01]

Did 18k in 10 months in the old 1.2, have done 6.5k in 6 months in this one. Trying not to do silly milage again, though i'm not running about the country on courses for work this time.

 

[edde]

I don't know for sure. The only people with more that come to mind havn't ower the cars all there lives or have taken longer to do the milage.
