Question Whats your cars mileage?

What is your cars mileage and how many of those did you do?

I'm on around 75,000 and got the car at 54,000. Last month I only did 300 miles, and most of those were for pure pleasure.

At what mileage would you sell the car or will you keep it for as long as it is reliable?

gretschdrummer1989 - 500 miles in a few months! I've just managed to get my monthly mileage down by 50% to 300 miles by walking everywhere and using the car at the weekends.
Tegimal - Cornwall is a bit like Kent as you have a 200 mile or so drive before you hit the mainland.
Pixel is doing mega miles 20k+ per year - good job it's a diesel.

I have 14000 on the clock, I bought it at 12000 or 13000...can't remember without checking. I won't need to get rid of it for many, many years as its Japanese. Plus I don't intend to!
