I used to have a car with a lot of mileage so I guess I didn't take notice of how many miles I actually put on the car. I've had my car for about a month and 1 week and I have 2100 miles on there.

How much do you guys avg? or should avg?

fdl

I am averaging about 1500 miles per month so far. Most of that is joy riding too

Hmm...let's see,

- 160k miles at the time I sold my 90 Prelude, and I had it since new in 7/90, sold in 8/98. So average about 1,650 miles per month or 19,800 miles per year.

- 70,600 miles on the day my 99 Integra was totaled. I had it since new in 3/99, totaled in 4/03. Average about 1,440 miles per month or 17,280 miles per year.

- approx. 114k miles today on my 98 Prelude. I just put 3k+ miles on the car in a week last week (a trip from So Calif to Kansas would do it). Anyway, I have the car since 6/98, so average about 1,820 miles per month or 21,840 miles per year.

- my 04 TSX has about 2,200 miles today, and I bought it in 7/03. So far average about 1,100 miles per month. If I continue with this rate, it would be 13,200 miles per year.

40000 on an 01 jetta (bought in 2000), so about 13,000 per year.

I tried to keep it between 12k - 15k per year. I put about 12K per year on my last 6th gen accord (it was a leased car). How much does the high mileage affect the resale value, alot?

GeorgeTSX

In my 1991 Honda Prelude I was doing around 12,000 a year. I suspect I will be putting more on my TSX because it is even more fun to drive and explore expecially with the NAV.

I have about 1600 miles on my car and I've had it for about 18 days. I think i need to tone it down a bit. Doesn't help that I have a 54 mile round trip to work though.

dabuda

my 97 lude has 45k miles so about 7.5K p/year. picked up the tsx 7/25/03 and have 1600 miles so far

idx

Put about 23k on my volvo last year. Up to 2,050mi on my TSX so far. (from 8/23. 346 on delivery, ~250 around S Florida and back home, then the rest is commute/sunday driving) I'll probably be in the ~20k range this year.

briny319

27-32k miles per yr

dnl2ba

I just started at my first full-time job (graduated with my BS in June), so I never put many miles on my prior car. I have 1708 miles so far after 5 weeks. That's about 42 miles / day, or 15.2K / year assuming a steady rate.

accsuperstar

DANGGGG only 10-12K here

majormojo

TSX picked up Aug 21/03. It's around 3800km now. Probably avg or slightly less driving than we'll do over the long term. So that puts it at about 45,000km (29,000mi) per year.

BTW, first speeding ticket w/ TSX was Aug 25. 4 freekin' days. Got a rock chip in the hood and a small scratch on the fender already too. :'( Boohoo. Kind of unavoidable w/ so much hwy driving. Gotta look into that 3M ClearBra stuff.

Drove it off the lot: 8:30 PM. First speeding ticket: 2:15 AM.

That first night, I drove from the Serramonte dealership to my home in Burlingame, then down to pick up my friend in Mountain View (near Palo Alto / Stanford if that helps), then all the way up to SF to a club, then back down to MV to drop off my friend, then back to my house. I was almost there when I got tagged: 92 in a 65, the fastest I'd gone all night. I felt unlucky, not to mention stupid.

I have to go to court (originally by Tuesday, but I extended the deadline by a month online). The county's automated answering system says it's because I was more than 30 over, though it doesn't take a calculator to determine that I wasn't.

mcourt83

On Tuesday, the two-month anniversary of driving my car off the lot, I hit 6,000 miles.

3,000 miles/month=36,000/year.

I guess I'm winning?

fdl

I bet sauceman can beat those numbers.

sauceman

Yeah, probably.

For me it's like 50k/yr.

Hitting 28,000km today.

dnl2ba

50,000 KM is "only" 31,068.56 miles, according to Google. mcourt83 leads at 36,000 miles.

fdl

We'll see how much they have at the end of 1 year. My money is still on sauceman.

mcourt83

This is one competition I wouldn't mind losing!

Count Blah

I'm still under 1500 miles... last I checked I was on pace for about 5-6k miles a year. I have only a couple mile commute though. The pace will certainly change if I start taking some road trips.

sauceman

Yeah, sorry, I wronged myself, and you. I was saying 50,000 miles (80,000KM).

Just forgot to do the conversions on the 28,000km.

That depends... is it american? American cars generally dont have a really high resale value at all. Korean cars (daewoo, kia, hyundai) also have poor resale value cause they tend to want to fall apart after a few years (trust me, a co-worker owned a daewoo and then a hyundai). Although a car like an Acura would have a really high resale value and mileage would affect it a little but not too much.

gregor

Hmm...picked mine up 5/22 and it's got just shy of 3000 miles, so that's about 12k per year.

ecsw

60 miles (100KM) a day in average. I have 2100km(1300 miles) in 3 weeks. That would be something like 22000 miles / year?

DjElucid

Damn, I picked mine up on 8/7, I'm at about 2850. How far do you drive to work? When my sister bought a Passat in 2001, the dealer had a 94 ford taurus with 27k original miles, the senior citizen that traded it in for a passat I guess never drove it anywhere.

captainjack

My commute is about 80 miles a day so that's 20,800 per year. Yikes.
Plus I drive it at least a LITTLE on the weekends.

Bye-bye, resale value.

vasu

10,000 a year roughly

sleeper

i've got about 12-14,000 miles a year. not much, which hopefully means many years of driving in my tsx ahead of me.

slo007

1,500 miles last week... :o

ABP-CL9-TSX

I average about 13k miles a year, total 23k miles with three cars though.

yuhoo22

My commute is 95 miles round trip to and from work. For the year with road trips and going out on the weekends I should be between 28k-33k on the TSX which is my daily. Plus on the X5 I add another 7k-9k.

jlukja

about 8000mi/yr. Vanpool to work and do the everyday errands in my wife's Civic.

dabuda

update: have about 11k miles now and it'll be 11 months this friday

TSX 'R' US
