Why not?

If i'd had mine from new and had my current job I'd be hard pushed to have that mileage!

I hardly get to use mine but still like to know I have it when I open the garage door.

Pity the escort left hooker, as would have thought fetch more money as uk car, unbelievable really one to be bought and put in a museum as doubt many more about as original. Good price for what it is as well.

I've had my 03 STi almost nine years from new and now that I'm retired, the mileage has gone way down. It's currently 42,500 Annoyingly, if I admit I'm retired, my insurance increases!
The main thing that worries me and it should concern the OP, is lack of use deterioration, especially as mine is not garaged. It helps by using the best fuel, oils, wax etc.
