Hi just wondering do you guys think 60 thou miles is alot. Its a 00 so a bit much for that maybe Anyone have alot of miles up here and anyone have any major probs as the miles go up. Ive heard of people with 200 thou and no bother.

I had a MY99 which racked up 60k miles in 3 years. My dad bought it off me and it is still going strong 2 years later. Lets just say it was driven how it was made to be for the first 60k miles

I have an MY99 RB5 with 82K. I admit it did have a engine failure at 60K, fixed under warranty, as for the rest of the car it is fine.

To be honest mate, as long as the car has been lookd after in the correct way it shouldn,t be a problem!!

such as servicing, warmed up, coold down etc.

My MY00 suffered a big end failure at 61k - although I gather that's pretty unusual for a properly serviced UK car. Other than that it was fine until I sold it at 70k.

MY03 STi PPP, 30k on the clock and running sweetly (touch wood!). Should have 150k on by the time I sell it - just nicely run in

I bought a MY99 just over 2 years ago (shade under 3 yrs old) with 61k (ish) miles on it and it's excellent. Now got 82k (ish) on the clock and just had the big 90k service - no problems reported.

Car runs like new and has not been on ounce of trouble BUT as stated above a car must have been well looked after servicing wise and be at the right money. I got mine at trade price so I was (and still am) happy. If I sold it now I'd not lose too much on what I paid for it, but I can't see me selling for many years yet.

My MY00 has about 38k on it, and gets used everyday.

MY97 STI version 3 113,000 miles. Head gasket went at 110,000 due to over revving on a test drive! Otherwise, been fine for me and previouse 2 owners. I hope the moral is, look after it and it'll be fine. Do warm up and cool down every time and do oil changes regularly.

My MY03 has done 30K now, I suspect the 60K will come up this time next year when it's 2 years old and then 90K when it's 3 (cos I'm loving it and don't want to change at the mo) - the transmissions a bit dodgy and about to be fixed under warranty, but nothing major

minor_threat

MY00 has done 72k and is having a new clutch fitted on Tuesday. I've only had it a few months but it has FSH and the service history just shows usual wear and tear, cam belt at 45k, new tyres every so often, brake pads and discs every 15-20k it seems, regular fluid changes etc.

Gearbox let go at 139k and I decided to change the engine at that point aswell. (valve seals were going otherwise it was fine.)

Thanks for that guys. This car im buying has 60 thousand on it 00. Im very nervous now after reading a thread about a 96 turbo big end going ( whats a big end) and he seems to be haveing a lot of trouble. And i wouldent have the cash to pump 5 63 grand into it. What you think.


Thanks

Well my 91 leagacy turbo has got 190000, its been fine for the five years ive had it, the only major thing i have done is a new g/box @150000! by the end of the year it should have reached well over 200k mark. just look after them & they wont go wrong. warm up cool down, regular oil change & it will be many years of happy motoring!!
