3 or 4 thousand miles a year is perfectly acceptable.john-e89 said:Nictrix said:I dont see the point in owning something if you dont use it.
You are only keeping it good for the next owner.
Our cars are used daily and always do around 7000 miles every year.
Yes you're right but there's sometimes more to it than that, I only use mine for approx 3-4K a year, mainly as I have a van for work and weekends are taken up with my 9 yr old and on going house renovations, I simply don't have the time to use it more. It's crazy having a new one for this purpose I know that, but only my 2nd ever new car and I'm a bufty, a secret concours fan, it's the first time I've managed to get one, so having a new car with only dry use feeds my weird hobby...polishing and not using...I get a lot out of just owning a mint showroom car, all the suspension parts clean, underneath etc, it's crazy I know but some of us are ill... :lol: My sensible head says sell up now and buy an Alpina E85 or a Boxster or cheaper E89 and use it come rain or shine, it's just getting the heart to agree which is the stumbling block.
