How many miles per year?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*AceInHole* · 07-14-2002, 11:49 AM

I've been saying that I put over 20k miles in the past year.... but stupid me, I forgot to carry a number or something.  I came to the realization that a year and 4 months ago my car had 83k miles on it, and now it has 125k miles.

125k - 83k = 42k
42k / 1.33 yrs. (4 months = .33 years) = 31.5k miles/ year

Somehow, my engine is still in freakishly good condition.

I think I put less than 10K a year.  I got the car with 9900 miles in 1998 and it now has 44200 miles.

I bought my car with 43,000mi back in september, now in july it has almost 60,000 (will hit 60k this week most likely).  I'll put my vote in for 20k - 25k a year I guess <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I bought my car last August (2001) with 123,000 miles.  Now its been almost a year and i think I will have put 20,000 miles on my car.  Right now its 140,443 miles, and my engine is in good condition.

I bought the car ~2 months ago with 96,8XX miles, and the odometer now reads 96,8XX. ... of course, the fact that my odo is broken probably means I'm not getting an accurate reading.
Hmm.

Last year I put almost 25,000 on my prelude, since I've had the 240, I've put about 2300 miles on it or so (probably cuz its seen more shop time than driving time, but I still love it  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> )

I put 53,000 miles on my car in 2 years so that puts me in the 25l-30k category.  Now that I don't have a gf in CT that eases up on my mileage, too.
