How many miles on your '03?
Just curious how many miles people have on their 03's, or any year for that matter. I got mine back in April and b/c of work have 16,000 on mine already......
......im doing my best to keep the miles low, but it just doesnt seem to be happening cause this car is so fun to drive

you guys are really killing your resale values FAST!!! a lot of high mileage 2003's out there!! ive got a 2002 with 9300 on it, i got the car on feb 28th of this year....if i didnt have to drive from NYC to milwaukee, i would only have about 8300 right now. i wonder if the resale value of a 2002 with LESS miles than a 2003 model would be higher??? i would rather have a car with less mileage than a car thats a model year newer....acura really got funky with releasing a 2003 in march of the preceding year...thats very odd....

I, for one, have never considered resale value in an automobile purchase. Cars are poor investments - why treat them as something else?

i put 1.5k miles on it just from going to car shows and shti....long island to hersey about 400 miles, long island to wildwood nj, about 320 miles, then up to syracuse to visit my friend that was 800 miles, about 240 miles from going to and from the track twice 60 miles each way plus from my house to my ex gf's was 10 miles, so that adds up driving that every day, shit just adds up

Yeah I hate that my old job forced me to put so many miles on a new car, but hey its Acura, its meant to be driven a long time. Hopefully when I get this new job, it comes with a company car, so my baby can rest and just maybe get some rest....other than that, i have no regrets, i love driving it

14K on mine right now (bought in March) but I'm planning a trip to Knoxville (beat those nasty Vols) and to Miami (beat those nasty Panthers) in November.
This weekend's just a little trip to witness the slaying of those Scarlet Knights.
BTW, CL is NOT a daily driver.

If you sell a 2-year old car with 40,000 miles on it you’re going to take a BIG hit.
But if you sell one that’s 8 years old, there’s not much difference in the value between 90,000 or 120,000 miles.
As the age goes UP and the value goes DOWN, mileage doesn’t mean as much.

My car has now 43k miles and now some 30 month old. The hit would be $1500... That is it!
