Going back to the fact that most speedos over-read by about 10% (today @ indicated 70 - true 64 via GPS) it occurs to me that will also mean that your odometer will have 10% more miles than you actually have ever travelled :eek:

Now I reckon this has an adverse affect on 2nd hand values as cars appear to have done more miles than they actually have!!!

Thats 5K less for a 50K car & 10K less for a 100K car...

Worth thinking about

:)

Fortunately the same would apply to all other makes and models so the 2nd hand car market should remain pretty balanced despite the inaccuracy.

38K N-reg series McRAE, but it has had 17`s on for the last 2 years that would make the speedo more accurate, so maybe its about 36k???? :D

My (my00) p1 has 7880 miles on it :D

78k also with 17"s, on a MY00

If it is true, the value of my MY00 prodrive saloon with 96,000 miles has suddenly gone up, although probably not by much :-(

MY00 UK Turbo - 11k.

Do you think this is a scam so that you'll get your cars serviced every 6750 miles?

BTW SPort 60k V-reg.
MY00 Turbo July 2001 10K

LOL

Good point!

So should the warranty be 66,000 miles or three years ? ;)

Feck :eek: that means my my99 only does 15.6mpginstead of 17.1 now ;)

Sep01 with 18" wheels done 9k

July 01 with 8300miles & 18" wheels

72k MY00 (May)

166,660 Miles

MY95 UK

42K currently run on 17"

Most of you aren't trying!

I have 49K on my mine and it was registered in April 01. I have had it since Feb 02 and have done 32K of those miles. Wonder if I have used a tanker of fuel yet, my wallet says I have!

May 2001 - 15000 miles

My95 85k :eek:


Puff why is your name not on the list for the Ball??:(


Huxley

my99 23k miles on 17"s

Actually a lot of the inaccuracy in the speedometer is to do with the interaction with the spring that drives the needle round. This bit doesn't apply to the mileometer. So although the mileometer is still inaccurate, it's nowhere near as inaccurate as the speedometer.

my00 has 34k on it!!!

sep 02 sti, 2k
mark

53000 In a 99uk On 17"s & I've done them all !!!! Bar 7 of them that were on it when I got it. Must be a wuss though coz I'm still on the same clutch!!!!

93 wrx

74763 klms about 50000 miles I think

UK 95 with 115,000 miles on it - 35k of those by me in just over 3 years :)

Hi Puff,

I've also noticed a difference between GPS speed and indicated speed. My car (MY98 with 17s) appears to be more accurate around the national speed limit but is WAY out further down ie a GPS 30 mph is an indicated 35 approx on my speedo.

Though I guess as it gets more accurate close the the national limit and as a fair proportion of my miles are motorway miles, maybe my mileage is not too way out - 46, 000 by the way.

Cheers

Robin

Now now Puff, the "Who has the highest mileage Scooby?" question is one reserved for newer members of this board, you know that :p ;) :D
