I currently have 34k on my car. When I purchased the first time it had 31k+.

I put about 1k on it and sold to Matt, he put about 800 miles on the car.
Since Matt's passing and my repurchase, the car has traveled 17 miles in 4 years.
I put 5 of those miles on and take it out every 2 weeks around the block.

When Matt had the car he had an engine out service done and also replaced many parts to make as new.

I know of another car with 31k on it.

An average of 2,650 miles per year on my car over 20 years = 53,000 miles. Just enough to keep all the parts lubricated. That 2,650 has changed drastically though over the last couple years. I only put 350 miles on it last year and I keep it pristine at all times.

I like how you think, its not the total mileage its the "miles in the years".

JBJR, great looking car and I can tell just by looking at the picture and the cars stance that its perfect.

The Turbo 3.6 these days are like Patek Phillipe Watches, "You never actually own a Patek Phillipe, you merely look after it for the next generation".

BEAUTIFUL.

Those rakes and shovels kind of scare me.

I had a BMW M5 in my garage years ago, someone slammed the door - rake fell on car and dinged
my front fender. Car had 1100 miles on it.

Love the color.

Mike

Bad Boys 1: Sorry to hear about the M5...that's no fun. I live here by myself. No one gets near that car.....but thanks for your concern. Cheers. Chip.
