who worries about putting miles on their car?

[SE_123]

My GT finally crossed the 40k mark today - 2023 will definitley see more miles (depending on weather...)

 

[MarkMas]

I try to put on at least 9,000 miles per year.

Yup, I’ve always worried about mileage on the Ferrari…

The GT-S is on 73,000 miles now.

I certainly don’t, admittedly the Strad is not a daily but I never give a thought to mileage. I bought it to enjoy and use it when I can, I am not too anal about where I park either, it’s been in many a city centre multi-storey overnight and sees the supermarket car park on a regular basis.

Closing in on 80k for me. Averaging 5k a year.

What did I have when you bought it? Or have you done the opposite of most Ferrari owners and "reverse-clocked" it?

It had 20,000 on it when I took ownership.

God, no. I can't bloody wait!

So you did the reverse-clocking

 

[boomerang]

Did 2100 KMS in 13 years….
And yes, that is absurd and maybe even criminal.
But it is our 5th car and it has to compete with more practical cars and a SL500 roadster during summer.
Apart from that, this Gransport is low mileage, a quite rare black/Cuio full leather/carbon version, in mint condition.
And I want to keep it that way to be honest.
But I am looking for a nice Granturismo now, to put some miles on in the future.
They are much less rare and maybe because of that, very good value for money at the moment.

So you did the reverse-clocking

Exactly, drove it rain or shine, every day of the week for years. Commuting, Tesco’s, track days, road trips.

You are my hero today !

 

[PhillV8S]

I have never understood why someone would buy a car and then not drive it when they wanted to for fear of putting miles on. Buy it, drive it and enjoy it.
Let the next owner worry about the mileage you leave the car with if they want to. Enjoy the time with car otherwise why bother buying it at all!

True that...with the Spyder laid up, and even though I have the truck for farm, etc. duties...I have managed to put 5,000 miles on the Coupe in the last six months...

That is one trip to Walmart in some parts of the US of A

Not really, they tend to be less troublesome when used imo, my "daily" has been less reliable and more frustrating to live with for the last few years, to the point it has been demoted to the "it won't fit in the 3200's boot" duties

Restart this post when it gets to over 64000!!

That's not true. It is never parked at the top of a hill, near a storm drain or big drop.

So true!

That said, my office is in my house, since COVID...and we only shop once every two weeks for non-meat foodstuffs/necessities, and take either the truck or the wife's Acadia when we do errands...and I don't drive the Coupe in the rain...so I literally take her out every single time I can.
