Default Average Annual Mileage When You Bought Your Used LS430?

Balfor's 12k 06 got me wondering what average mileage our LS430s saw before we bought them. Calculate your figure by either in-service date or model year and select the appropriate poll value.

I bought my 05 LS430 in early 2010 with 30.5K miles, netting 6.1K miles/year.

Got it summer of 2010. Car was built mid 04 (so roughly 6 yrs). Had about 25k miles on it when I first got it, which means 4166 mi/yr. I've put nearly 5k miles on it already!

Default 2,008 miles per year

Got my 2005 custom luxury in March 2009. Original owner got it February 2005. When I bought it, it had 8,200 miles on it. 4 years and 1 month old, 8200 miles gives 2k/year.
Long story but owner got a company car, then got ALS. it was showroom condition.
Just had the 40k service.

I'd like to hear the story from the person who bought the car that averaged 25-30K per year.

Got my 2005 in late 2010 with 45k on the clock. Without knowing the actual in-service date, I'll just round it to 9k per year. I drive about 9-10k per year, so it should stay in that range unless I move or something.

Bought our 2005 (original sale date 10/30/04) on 9/10/08 with 45,368 - approximate average 11,700/yr. We are about 82,300 now, so we're averaging approximately 15,300/yr.

I bought my '04 with 102,000KM on the clock,and do about 10k kms a year,so I'm in the 5-7,500 Mile bracket.

Daily commute is only 15km each way,but I go all over town on the weekends and hit the country roads occasionally.

Bought my 06 in August 2009 with 14K miles on it. Almost 2 years later it just hit 30K on a road trip to NOLA and back from DFW. I don;t drive much around DFW, work at home, but the LS has been on several long road trips since we bought it. Its a great road car.
