Does that not put you in the new taxation bracket?

Mines on 75K MY00. So not very low at all. However with no intention of selling any time soon it doesn't matter too much to me.


EDIT - Not a Subaru but in my mothers garage in Spain theres a '76 3L Capri with 27K. Its sat there because no one wants to foot the fuel bill getting it back to blighty

Yup, those Evo service intervals really make you keep the mileage down

Some bloody low mileage examples about then!!

However,as much as i do like to buy low mileage cars myself,i cannot help buy be saddened when proper drivers car's are not used as much as i think they should be................surely they were intended to be used more than some are being??

The reason for saying that is last year i bought one of the first Ariel Atoms that was registered in 2000,and when i bought it last May,it had covered just 550 miles from new(6 years),as it had been bought and kept in a private collection,which i couldn't help thinking defeated the object...................i done 1200 miles in it in the 4 weeks i owned it and loved most of every one .

Couldn't agree more mate - mines a 94 WRX - I imported just over six years ago, and have put 87k on her - now showing 133k and still going well. Expensive to run, but more expensive just to have in the Garage. I enjoy driving her more than looking at her !

Bought my STi 6 (MY2000) last year with 32k on the clock. It now has 57k on it. But runs like an absolute dream. Just about worn in I think.

That's more like it IMO!!

I am currently thouroughly enjoying piling the miles onto my recently aquired (previously low mileage) STI PPP .

How can you guys drive other cars to keep the mileage low on your "drivers'" cars?

Personally, I would find it very difficult to live with a "normal" car having had my Classic WRX.
