How many miles on your ODO?

Hey Everyone,

I purchased my TL-S in Nov 06, I just hit 32,000 on the ODO. That's about 16,000 a year, is that consider average? Anyways, car still feels great, never feels "outdated" to me despite it being 2.5 years old.

I'm trying to get a general consensus of where people stand on their total mileage, yearly miles, and how their cars are holding up.

I guess something along the lines of this:

Car (Model): TL-S
Year: 2007
Miles Driven Per Year: ~16k
Miles Driven to Datel: 32,000
Condition: Great, still runs problem-free

Thanks

05 TL with 62K on the clock I put about 22-24,000 miles a year.

Car is running smooth as butter, I couldn't be any happier!

Car (Model): TL Navi
Year: 2006
Miles Driven Per Year: 9K
Miles Driven to Date: 25,452
Condition: Great! Original owner. Just two trips to the dealer for a blown speaker and then the power steering hose recall.

The car has been great otherwise. The car has just a couple of blemishes now being 3 years old- a rollup garage door mark on the back bumper, some mild curb rash on a couple of wheels that were touched up, a couple of blemishes on the front bumper and that's it. The car has survived door dings very well.

Year: 2006 (purchased 9/06 w/ 8 miles on odo)
Miles Driven Per Year: Now averaging about 16-17K
Miles Driven to Date: 48,900
Condition: Excellent - Just a couple of tiny blemishes. Car runs very well and has been flawless except OEM battery (replaced in 2/08) and as of late, the dealership attempting to over-service the car.

I'd have more miles, but I also have an '03 Civic that I purchased in 12/07.

Condition: Great, except for the front end which looks like it's been shot at by a bee-bee gun about a thousand times. I drive mostly highway in the DC area, so thank you 495! Also two cracks and a ton of chips on the windshield. So I guess not that great. Great from like 15 feet! HAHA! Runs problem free though!
