That's about 25,000 miles. ( BTW, I'm a fellow Vancouverite)

I only have 3,860 Km (2,400 miles) as of today, and I bought it last October.

I am thinking of keeping this car for life.

I've heard this engine can last half a million miles from the LS board if properly maintained. At the rate I'm driving this car, I will still be driving it in 2103

Took delivery Jan 7, 2002

Just hit 16,000 over the weekend.


Your message is not clear re what it takes to "top" you - more miles or fewer miles .... its probably all a matter of opinion.

P.S. My '92 SC400 just hit 95,000 this month. Have been able to keep miles relatively low because I live 3 miles from the office, and do not drive long distances for work.

Bought in April, 2001, and just turned 11,000 miles.

This includes a few trips of over 1,000 miles.

I need to drive it some more.

I have 49000 miles on mine in 23 months. Thank God I have also flown 125000 miles during the same time. The dealer wasn;t sure what service to perform when I hit 30000 miles.

Well Ipromised my wife that I would only work on days that end in a "Y". That's why I bought this car. I do spend a lot of time traveling and it is such a pleasure to drive. But I do miss it when I fly, Avis doesn't rent SC430.
