84 NA - bought 3 months ago with 152K KMs (95K miles), clocked just over 158K Kms - so about 4000 Miles (approx 6300KMs)
The previous owner (original purchaser back in 84), going by total travelled over 22 years managed to average about 132KM (83 Miles) per week.

I bought mine in Feb. '00, and have put on about 31k miles.
I haven't been driving it as much lately for two reasons. First, the Miata (new daily drive) is much more fun than the Jetta (old daily driver) was, so there's less of that "OMG I gotta drive a sports car!" thing. Which kills my motivation for the second thing, which is because it's in the garage behind two cars in the driveway, one of which is not mine. It becomes a hassle to constantly swap them all around. The same thing happened when I was babysitting that 911... I got my Porsche fun in with that car and not the 944.

I'll hit 190,000 next week (Monday or Tuesday). Car had 164,000 on it when I bought it 6 years ago (sat for more than a year while I fixed - everything).
Total of 26,000 miles in about 4.5 years of spring to fall driving.

I think i put 2k on my gray S2 since i bought it in may 04. Mostly highway I might add (highway to lime rock and pocono).
i think i put 19k on my red S2 in the almost three years I had it before it got stolen.

Bought my 83NA in April with 121k, and it's just shy of 125k now.
It's virtually all highway mileage. (*%$%$* 35 mile commute each way...)
This is why I'm buying a house that's 6 miles from work.

Well
I got my Turbo S in Feb 1997 with 90k on it. Now it has 125k or so. 35k miles in almost 10 years.
Not to many I guess. Car has see mostly weekend fun run use, autocross, light track use and a couple months daily driver. So 35k over 10 years means I have about 20 more before she hits 200k. 
My former concour/daily driver 84 944. Got that in late 97 or 98 with 67k on it. I did not drive it much for many many years. Then in the span of a year and little more I put like 20k on it daily driving it. Those were some fun 20k miles too!
Hmm my track car (note broken odo means I have to estimate)... Lets figure it out. 74 track days since 2000. Lest estimate 4 25 min session per day to account for a couple enduros in there at and avg speed of 70 mph. So that comes to 124 hrs of track time and 8600 miles. Wow... Not that many either. Of course those were some TOUGH 8600 miles.
