Hi all,

I'd be interested to know how has the lowest mileage classic turbo. I think I bagged a good un in this respect: Genuine 15k. (MY99) Anyone got lower?

Best

 

speak with TedEd
he has a MY00 turbo (1999 he had it)
done about 13.5k miles in the 5 years!!!drives it like a wuzz too
running about 272bhp... and its not been over 100mph in years! lol

 

is that good or bad? Cuz it means the engine spent most of its life sitting.

 

I've only been a scooby driver for 2 weeks but I find it (on a motorway) harder to NOT do 100 than do a 100mph. I mean, just putting your foot down a little to make it past a car and I'm doing a ton Feels like I'm only doing 70.

 

Whats the point in having a car you dont drive ??

Might as well get a taxi and save the depreciation and servicing costs

 

That's very true Matt.

Mine is v near 16K now after a month! :-)

I don't think I'll rack up anywhere near the average annual milage for a year, as I only use it as a play thing and for weekend travel. Not worried about depreciation; the classics have pretty much already suffered the biggest hit. At the moment it's a case of riding out the: "loads about, some of which are cheap fast cars" stage untill the good one's acheive rarity status. In about 5 years I can see a mint low miler fetching a packet! Not that I'd sell mine anyway!!!! :-)

Best.

 

Thats what i tell him.. and last saturday he's telling me he wants to do the car up with Big Turbo etc to get 300+bhp!!! LoL
anyway.. he lives 1mile from his work and car shares with his brother every other week.

 

i got a 94 clasic from japan and its done 45k ... 25,000m ish?
its like new inside and out.

 

I bought my MY00 Wagon with 32k on it in Feb. It's got 42k on it now. I love driving and she's my driving ****

 

Just put a deposit on a STi Type R MY99 .... 1 Jap owner, about 9k on the clock with history. Pick it up in 2 weeks.

Bought my99 UK Turbo last december with 27,500 miles, 1 owner.... it has 61K on the clock now

J

 

When I got my car 6 months ago, fresh from japan, it had just turned 10 years old and had 50k miles on the clock, thats 5000 miles per year. Since then, even though I spent 1 month away, I have put more than 10k miles on it

 

lol... and we all believe a 10 year old jap cars only done 25k miles! lol

 

Unit 1 year ago my MY99 Sti V RA V Ltd had covered just 8,250 miles!!! It had never been out in the rain and was showroom condition!!! Now 1 year on an it has covered 17K (with a recent 1K round trip to Scotland which has done more good than bad as its give it a good clear out). Car is still in pristine condition and is running superb but dares come out in the rain now!

 

And why not?

 

Ive got a 97 classic wagon 28000 miles full service history with minor mods

 

yeh, i have to believe that there are more clocked cars coming from japan than most think. I know its expensive to run a car over there and that there are congestion charges etc and strict mots etc but some of the figures they gives take the ****. A lot of jap cars have paint before they come over to cover accident damage.
I have based my opinion on the many auctions i have been too and the vast amount jap classics i have seen. - and i have one!

 

my my00 has done 12K miles, dont think its done it any harm, ran 315.8bhp and 310lb/ft last weekend

 

my Nov '99 Type-R STi V5 has done just 22k km!

 

I''m the same bodge but mines got 63K.Bodywork and interior are immaculate.

 

my stiv5 34k 14months ago now 36k and 300 miles of that was bringing it up from devon only used on sunday! o late 98

 

My MY95 RA has less than 30k on the lock - and it shows

 

but you use your about 3 times a year................

on the other had mine 160 odd k on the clock.......... but some of that is km's so it's really about 125 miles now.

 

I think that you should aim this question to most people who live in Norfolk as their cars never seem to venture far - they all stop at the Norfolk borders for some reason.

 

My brothers MY00 has approx 20k on the clock, my MY00 has 52k!!

 

my previous car an MY00 (with every bit of Prodrive kit they do on it)has just covered 14k genuine miles and is up for sale
