Mines a 97 Terzo with 37000 as well

 

my last uk turbo was 3 years old and only had
14000 miles on it, all by me
my latest sti03 has 9000 in 17 months

 

My son has just had the one year service on his 03STi at 3,428 miles!
Mine had about 6,300 miles at one year.
I sold my 99my at 4 1/4 years with just 25,400miles!

May 98 with 26k. I had a 'test drive' in an RX8 out of curiosity and was offered £7600 with an extra £400 for the low mileage. Big ******* deal. The car has had over £12k spent on it!!! Don't suppose I'll ever sell it now

 

So, all these folk with little or no miles on their Scooby's.....

Did you buy it to drive it? or as a status symbol to sit on the driveway?

Not a dig.... a serious question cos I cannot understand buying a car like ours and doing 25,000 miles in 4 years??

Even a weekend track toy would accumulate more miles...

 

Nope, I love mine to bits. However, I refuse to take it to work as the chances of it being hit by other cars or being dinked by doors etc, is to high.

I do use it at weekends, and TBH I feel I get more out of it because it feels special when I do use it. Mind you, my OTHER car is a Ford Capri

Some of my work mates point out that I rarely use it. I say, you don't wear you best clothes to go to work do you? You just wear your sloppy joes

 

I used mine every day for the first 3 years but I don't do a big mileage. Then bought an 8 year old Astra (with only 24k!) for carrying garden rubbish, Tesco duty etc so scooby only comes out to do about 2500 miles a year now - mainly in summer I get at least as much pleasure from tinkering anyway...

 

Maybe its just me, but if I'm paying a whopping great amount of cash to buy, insure and maintain a car, then I certainly don't want it spending its life gathering cobwebs in a garage. Just MHO.

The old phrase... "its a tool, not a jewel!"

 

John - my sentiments exactly, thats why even though its my 2nd car (04), its still used everynight to go for that little blast, its like a drug (though never took them) once you start you just cant stop

My phrase is "I didnt buy it to polish it, i bought it to drive it"

 

1998 22B- With 12'000

 

Wrx Sti2 Wagon (96 N).............61,000mls

 

I only put 22,000 miles on my last car in over 5 years - but then I live only 2 miles from where I worked. Don't forget, talizman, not everyone has a 200 mile round trip every day.

(Current Scooby has 1200 miles on it, and that's in the last 2 weeks. )

 

my00 ...bought Sep?Oct99 (hav'nt got exact date handy) by me from Holland

18500 genuine miles



Still got it and would'nt swap it

well maybe for a Type25

 

Do you have one of those stickers on the back of the Scoob ?

 

I'm not suggesting that Scobs should be used as everyone's daily commuter.

Personally, I do use it, but even that coupled with leisure driving only comes to about 12k a year.

 

Reasons for low mileage - in our case at least, is that my son works in London so gets on the train. The car is covered on the driveway, so gets rarely used during the week.
It doesn't matter wether it's the Scoob on a rusty old Nova - that's the way it is!
In my case, I have the choice of car or bus to work, so why put more clutter and pollution on the road when I can use public transport? I usually drive to work just 2 or 3 times a week (It's only 3 miles)
Look at it this way, if I can afford (just!) to run a car that I want and can choose when I want to use it, it feels GOOD when I do! Strange attitude from some of you! We are doing you a favour by reducing the commuting congestion?
Having said all that, we often travel in convoy to shows etc. when we could easily use just one car!

Had my 03sti for 10 Months now and it's just had it's 10k mile service, 4k of that was work miles and so 6k was 'just nipping out to get milk' type miles

johnd agree with you on this one,

mines over 2 years old and has just crept over the 14,000 mark everytime I use it I have fun and IT ALWAYS gives me a grin. Maybe because I use it so little i'm not getting bored of it so quickly. Im sure if I did 30000 miles a year in any car i'd get bored of it quicker.

Hi Chris

22,700 miles MY00

 

You should use it more mate!

I've tried using the other halves car a bit more recently in order to keep my mileage down but i'm finding it too much of a wrench to leave my car and drive something else!
