My wife and I have noticed that there are a good number of vehicles on the forum that have less than 50,000 miles, some that have less than 10,000, even. Why don't you guys drive your cars?!

 

ours has 99,000 and I am anxiously waiting for good weather so I can join the Chrysler 100,000 mile club. When I bought it I had every intention of keeping the miles low and "preserving " it, but we just have too much fun driving it.

 

Only driven in the summer. Not my daily driver. Pleasure only. 31,000 miles :-)

 

For the first time in my life I have the luxury of having a daily driver and a sports car. Like RickZ said, you try to preserve it. Maybe that's part of the fun of having a special car.

 

Our 2007 Machine Gray Limited Coupe w/Autostick has just under 13,000. Bought it in OCT/2008 with 1500 miles on it after original owner found out (during his/her 6-months of ownership) that it rode like a sports car. Imagine that!! We only use it for weekend jaunts around the Carolinas & Georgia. Stays covered up the rest of the time.

 

What he said...

 

Other than snow, ice, or storms with hail/high winds, it is my daily. Otherwise I use a beat up Ford Ranger. Right now I'm sitting at 97k with an 07. Some don't drive because they are looking for a collector later for themselves if young enough and others for their children etc.

 

What he said, although I do put about 7000 a year on it on average.

 

The Bright Silver is just a spare + saving it for granddaughter.....

 

I bought mine recently with under 4K miles. It is my daily driver, so it will be racking up the miles quickly. Yesterday I glanced down at the odometer and it read 5,555. It will likely be at 20K this time next year.

 

I have seven cars and three motorcycles licensed and insured. I put 12000 miles on them annually. I try to split it evenly.

 

My Crossfire is not my daily driver. I bought mine new November 2005. It has 19,000 miles on it, mostly from attending locale GTGs. This is also keeping my miles low, doesn't seem to be much interest in GTGs around here these days, seems to be catchy. I like the idea of having a low mileage Crossfire when others are reporting higher mileage. I try and keep it pristine although it is tough to do as it is black. That is another reason I don't drive it much. One day one of my kids will inherit it (if I don't sell it first)and I hope they'll keep it nice.

 

You got it. I bought my first one with about 39K on it, quickly got to 75K and replaced it out of necessity

Bought another low mileage example and promptly had several typical issues, curbed a wheel, broken foglight, etc. and decided it was time for a daily driver to save this one from the wear and tear. Got an AWD turbo for the winter and LOVE it, especially in the snow

 

Interesting answers so far...

 

Mine is not exactly LOW at 52,000, but it had 42,000 when I got it from the original owner 2 years ago.
So only around 5k per year, and that is because I have 3 other vehicles, and also do not commute, I work at home.

 

We commute in our car, and drive to various assignments, such as to Arlington to Cowboys Stadium, or to Austin for state championships. My wif'e's hometown is outside of San Antonio, and we've made that trip. In fact, that was the first road trip we took in the car!

 

My 08 had less than 6K miles when I bought it in June of 2010, and now has about 12,800. This will always be a low mileage car for me. Road trips are taken in the 'family car'. My husband enjoys riding in my car on short trips only. He tells people that I won't let him drive it. Not true. He just likes to see me behind the wheel. I think he likes having a chauffeur

My plans are for this car to stay in the family - forever!

Are you SURE he's not checking you over real good while your concentration is on the road ?
( men can be like that ..... )

 

I have an '05 roadster that I purchased in October 2009 with about 32,500 miles on it. It now has about 38,500 on it. I only drive it in the summer on the weekends. I want to keep it around for a while so I don't want to put too many miles on it. My New Year's resolution is to drive it more this coming year!!!!!

 

Got mine at about 19k and have about 27k now, for good days, the track, and carlisle. Too many other wheels to do the daily grind. Woody Gets more milage on the rack going up and down for mods, hee heee
