fusion350z Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Just coming up to 3k with the Z and enjoyed every moment so far. Cannot see me changing for sometime and just wondered how many miles your cars have and at what mileage you would consider changing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 20 months old and 23.5k miles - more than I'd planned and probably too much too keep it 3 years but strangely I use any old excuse to go for a spin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Ive only done a few hundred in mine so far (car is on 24k) but I sold my first car after 21k & my last car after 7k. My cars normally last about 12months before I get bored of them. By that time ive normally done all the mods that I planned but I think the Zed is a keeper, everything is expensive so it will take me longer to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_350z Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've done a lot of long distance trips in my first year, clocking up 18k (6k more than planned!). Like Digsy, any excuse will do for a spin. I'm hoping the long journeys are kinder to the engine than short hops, and next year I plan to buy / borrow a little runabout to keep the mileage down. I plan to have done 24k by end of next year - that only leaves me 6, including one planned trip to Nurburgring + possibly joining Val + crew in Europe... I'll never make it... On the long journeys I still love the fact you can do 80 @ ~3K RPM in 6th. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captint Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 30K now, will get a run around in Feb when I go FI, thinking of keeping the Z as a long termer, now that I'm getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek_ZR Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Done 12,650 in 20 months. I drive up to 20k miles a year but want to keep the Z for the long term so use a 2nd car and use the Z for pleasure driving. 1900 of the miles were for my summer holiday so I am doing really well. My original target was no more than 9k p.a. so I'm pretty happy. Also since I put what I used to save into a bigger house as an investment last August, I no longer have the money to replace the Z so I want to keep it for a long time so wll need to control the mileage.

I'd like to get a runaround because I'm piling on the mileage on the zed, but I know I'd be driving the other car, hating it, wishing I was driving the zed.

I hate racking up the mileage but can't see another way! Only option is to get a job closer to home which doesn't bother me as I hate what I do - just it's an ar*se the whole new job applying etc.....

polarbear Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 23k in 14 months and all my own. Roughly on target for the 3 year/60k warranty limit and then it'll be going back. Now I wonder if I can save the +50k for the GT-R by then???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have an MG ZR which was basically a heap of junk even although it was a 54 plate. I changed it in June for a new Clio Campus Sport 1.2. I love driving the Z, but because the Clio is such a good car to drive I am more than happy to drive it and it also makes the times when you do drive the Z more enjoyable and you appreciate it more. When I was in the MG, I hared every minute of it. Until this week as I have been on holiday, I hadn't driven the Z much in the past 5 weeks, used less than a tank of petrol.

My zed hasnt been used since Sunday & wont be used until Friday next week. Asmuch as I love the zed it was never an option as an everyday car for me, partly due to my heavy right foot . Unfortunatley I work every other weekend but every call out I attend it makes more money for Zed goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm at 29,000 after fourteen months (its my day to day car). Mileage rate is slowing since I moved house, so I reckon my three years will be the 54k mark (and the BIG service!). Hope to keep it after that cos its been so much fun and I have regrets about letting one previous car go (30 years ago!). I will get something else but will keep it for when I need a reminder of the times I've had (inc: Abindon track day, Millbrook driver training and, last weekend, 30 laps of Nurburgring). Besides, my son wants it left in my Will! Oh! And its also a special ultra colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichUK Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Looks like I'll hit 70k by the end of the year, just in time for the 3rd anniversary of getting the car in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Only done 8k in mine, and probably going to garage it now for the next 3 months to avoid the worst of the winter weather. So i will be commuting in my Rreg Punto SX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
