How old, how many miles?

Hi all,
Just curious to see what kind of miles people are putting on their TL's. I currently have an '05 NBP TL w/ NAV with 10,563 miles on her! The sad part is, she's only 3 months old (took delivery on May 1st). The reason why I have so many miles is because I commute between San Diego and Los Angeles on a daily basis.

Delivered May 27th, It's Aug 5th
Little over 2 month and I have 5000miles here in western Canada.

We should start a thread for high mileage TLs. Just to share maintenence and long term observation experiences. Everyone will get to 20000, 50000 and 100000 miles at some point so it would be nice to know what to expect.

4 months, a little over 9k.

A 3000 mile trip to Denver, and a 500 mile trip or two to Chicago....

I usually do 15k/year... but looks like I'll do 20k this time.

i'm in a similar boat. i average 2,500 - 3,000 miles a month

bought: 5/27/2004
miles: 39,400

i probably am one of a few high mile 3rd gen here. i'm cool with the miles, that's why i bought one, right? only thing that bugs me is that i'll run over that warranty before my baby turns 2 years old. my commute is san bernardino to LA. it's about 115 miles a day. but it's always an enjoyable commute

Working from home mostly

My new job allows me to mostly work from home.

So far, after five months I am just shy of 4000 miles which is about 750 miles per month.

She still smells like new!!!

meh, if it's nearby lol. EVERYTHING is so far in california

i can honestly say 95% of those miles i enjoyed driving. the 5% was when one of my EL42s blew on me and the 3 days driving around with a boo boo on my driver side, front fender (some a$$hole backed into my parked, 6 week old baby )

the car has been great and cooperative

So far I've got the lowest mileage car here for its age.

I've owned my car for almost 14 months and only have around 5,400 miles on it.

My TL pretty much gets used only on weekends and for road trips. My two Toyotas get the bulk of the "daily driving" use, with the Corolla getting the greatest amount of use (less than 500 miles/month).

7 months = 15,500 miles

80 mile per day round trip to work, try to use the bike as much as possible, but it's been HOT. HAte sweating sitting in traffic, might as well have AC and XM!

So much for the 12,000 mile per year lease...

My commute is about 65 miles a day, but I have my 95 Accord for that. It turned 225k miles yesterday.

Bought mine pre-owned in May '05 with 5900 miles. I now have 11000 miles. The car was first purchased in July '04. I'm trying to keep the miles down on too. My other car is a '93 Honda Accord which is still in great shape and running condition.

My car is 17 months old today and I have about 10,500 on it. My mileage is low because I only have a 2 mile commute to work, parked it for a month before turning in my previous lease, and I now ride my motorcyle more often since I purchased it in March.

Car is 10 months old and has 20K miles. I'm retired, but live in NM and visit my kids in CO, IA and CA and just generally like to drive. I've had absolutely no problems with the car so far.

My car was delivered April of 2004 and I have about 10,100 miles. Like Chill_dog about 8k a year. I live about 7 miles from work... a few of road trips so far, twice to Rhode Island for work (200 miles each way) and a couple of visits to relatives in Maryland for some of the holidays (250 miles each way). I have to say, this car is awesome on road trips... excellent comfort, can't beat the XM radio, great mileage on the open road... 30 mpg on the highway consistently with power to spare.

Hi MaFrecoLa: Bought my 05 SSM/Q auto/navi in Nov 2004. I just today turned 3,100 miles.
I drive it daily to work, just a quick 10 minutes from home, and then an occaisonal road trip to the Seattle area.

I bought mine on 06/04/05 and have around 4200 miles on it already. Most of the mileage came from driving back from where I had picked her up (in NJ) to Atlanta. Since I'll be keeping this car til the wheels fall off, I'm not concerned with high mileage.
