How Old Is Your Car? And What Is The Mileage?

[zululami]

Volvo V40 T4
Age: 4 years
Mileage: 89000

Opel Astra Essentia
Age: 13 Years
Mileage: 167000

Will not be buying a car anytime soon - for the next 5-7 years.

 

[Priapus]

Still stage2?

Besides the HPFP replacement / New Turbo seals and upgraded HPFP internals; the motor / SW is as I got it from you.
There have been minor cosmetic changes mind you.

Broken odometer or you walk a lot?

I purely use my car to get to the Hatfield Gautrain station and back for work and going to the occasional shop or movie.
My father bought the car new in 2001. I got the car from my father about 9 years ago and I think back then it had ~70 000km on it.

 

[Qrox]

Damn , so you average about 8k kms per year?

Seems that way yeah. Since I got the car from my father it looks like I average about 8.8k per year.

2013 FJ Cruiser - 45,000km

Chev to be replaced at the end of the year, keeping FJ for as long as possible.

And they say modded cars are unreliable... For others who don't know, this beast pushed 500Nm and 230wkw at KAR

Tjoe I was about to ask that too, 112000km on a brand new car. I think maybe he made a mistake.

It’s not brand new, it’s almost two years old. And nope, I didn’t make a mistake.

[Sly21C]

Car Make and Model: Ford Figo
Age: 7 years and 8 months old
Mileage: About 205 000 kms
Plans?: I plan to keep it for another year, before buying a brand new car

Sometimes I feel like changing my car and buy a new one 2 months from now. I really don't like the car that I'm driving at all anymore. It's too old, and it feels like it's going to break down any moment now. I am extremely tempted to buy the new Suzuki Swift as soon as it's available.

Ford Fiesta ST
Age: 7 months
Mileage: About 12 000 km
Plans?: Happy with the car but inlove with the Honda Civic Type R. Looking to get one in the next 3-4years

Kia Rio Tec

I plan to keep it. I need to replace my key fob covers, and the central locking actuator thing in one of the back doors seem to be faulty. Trying to figure out where to get reasonably priced OEM parts for it.

 

[AchmatK]

Citroën DS5

Will probably keep it till it breaks. Hasn't really cost much in terms maintenance costs.

 

[namzsteve]

Ford Fiesta ST

I plan on keeping this vehicle til I die, love it to death.

Toyota Hilux

I love this topic because many of us, regulars, have posted about the cars that we drive.

Yet some frequent posters have given it a miss.

DO THEY OWN A CAR?.........Or just stick and paste?

That cyclist from Stellenbosch dis nie djy nie? Verstaan djy?

Making fun of someone not owning a car is not on though, especially for those who don't own cars because they can't afford to, I was in that position before and I would not like it if someone were to throw that in my face.

Korean motor parts, specialist in Korean cars,
buy the part there, and just get it fitted someplace else

I don't think their parts are necessarily OEM though, unless they explicitly say so.

With the underhanded attention you give me my wife will start feeling jealous. Just need to set the record straight I don't bat for the same team, sorry pal.

Unlike you I try not to derail threads.
