How many miles does your primary automobile have on it?

Just this weekend traded in a 15 y.o. 150,000 mile car for a new car. I’ll be shopping for my next one in 2027. The plane is 33 y.o. with about 525,000 miles on it. It’s on its 3rd engine.

Bought my car six months ago with 6 miles on the odometer. I’ve got 6200 now.

I’m hoping I get to put 200k+ miles on it, because I seriously love this car.

16 month old Mercedes E Class. 22,000 miles on the clock.

I changed jobs about 7 months ago and my travelling has decreased a lot. I used to average about 25,000 miles a year.

Just over 10,000 miles on my 10-month-old 2011 Honda Accord V6 coupe.

It’s a fine vehicle, but at this rate I’m about 24,000 miles away from being able to trade it in for another sports car. :smiley:

Wow, do I have the oldest car with the fewest miles? My car is 6 years old with only 8500 miles and EVERY SINGLE TIME I take it in for maintenance someone says “Wow, you don’t drive a lot.” Or sometimes “Why did you buy a car?”

The answer is that I bought it when I lived in the sticks in the Midwest and then moved to DC where I take the train to work. But I can’t just sell it because there are still some annoying things here and there I need the car for, like taking the pets to the vet.

162K on a 2001 F150. It had 16k on it when I bought it in 2002. The majority of those miles are just from the commute.

114K on a 1995 GMC Sonoma. I bought it with 96K 5 years ago, so I average 3,600 miles a year. It’s a daily commuter but I live on an island.

I just noticed today my Jeep Liberty has 99,940 miles on it, so I put 100,000-150,000 in the poll, since I’ll probably roll over 100K by next week. :slight_smile:

Ha, my Jeep Cherokee has 198,645 miles on it so I rounded up to 200k - 250k because I’ll hit that before April 1. :smiley:

I had to replace the engine last summer, so that’s working fine, but here are some things that don’t work right:

  1. The clock/radio/CD player display goes dark frequently, but it will come back on with repeated hard blows with the heel of your hand

  2. All of the automatic windows can only be controlled from the driver’s panel

  3. The automatic locks haven’t worked in years

  4. The spring in the rear window wiper is not tight enough, so you can operate the wiper but it doesn’t really contact the window.

  5. If you shift gears too vigorously the gearshift handle will come off in your hand.

  6. The automatic transmission doesn’t always shift into first gear when you stop the car, so you sometimes have to manually shift into Low to get moving again and then shift into Drive when you are up to speed.

  7. The floor gets wet when it rains, so after long damp periods it develops a mildewy smell

My Fiat 500 is still young, with approximately 6500 miles on it. The pickup it replaced had 180,000+ when we sold it, all from me.

194,000 on my '84 tercel.

Just over 10K (under 17,000 km) on my 2007 Fit.

Just over 60,000 on this clock, but I know my brother-in-law (from whom I bought it) had to have the clock replaced, so I don’t know exactly how many miles it’s really done. I could look it up in the book, but that’s out in the car and it’s cold out there.

Currently, my 2002 Echo has 89,000+ miles on it.

My 1999 Ranger has 65,000+ miles on it.

My all time record was a Ford Festiva that had 145,000+ miles on it when we sold. It was driven for at least three years longer before meeting its end by colliding with a deer at 50 mph. While the car was totaled all occupants walked away from the accident unharmed.

How does one not know the rough estimation of miles on their vehicle? :confused: Do you also drive you vehicle until it simply runs out of gas? Is that how you know it’s time to fill up?

ETA: Oh wait; no one voted in that category…:smack:

Just rolled over 109K on my 2002 Saturn as I pulled into my parking spot at home today.

A bit under 100K - and it is 20 years old this month.

When I was five my parents bought a Chevy van with an odometer that said ~60,000 miles, but we’re pretty sure it had been tampered with and was really already over 100,000. Five years later the odometer broke somewhere upwards of 150,000 miles. ~50,000 miles into the new odometer they replace the engine. I learned to drive in that vehicle. By the time my parents sold that van to a friend, it had 300,000+ miles on it. Last I heard they still have it, and it still runs. That thing was a tank.

My own car is just shy of the 90,000 mark. Time for some expensive maintenance.

1997 Ford Contour - with 156,000 miles on it. Still has the original clutch, and the brakes were replaced at 154,000. And my last set of tires lasted for over 90,000 miles. I’m pretty easy on a car.

2001 Camry, purchased brand new with about 26 miles on it. It now has 226,470 or so miles.
