173,000km wil be just under 110,000 miles, so you may be second on here. :happy2:

My old MKIV did a load which killed off the residuals. Funny how dealers and the book differ in used values.

The black book seems when looking at mileage values put's the average user a 8k a year....what planet are they on!!

Most people unless walking to work are averaging well over 12k a year. As usual the stealers I find are ridiculous when taking mileage into account.

Certainly the used values of low mileage GTI's are through the roof.

....I couldn't agree more! :happy2:

I'm at 75k miles after 4 years and don't care two figs about how it effects what they call 'residuals' - Life is for living and you never know when it'll end, so enjoy every day!

Proper and very regular maintenance is the key to longevity. I met someone at Spa on Monday who was using a VW van to tow a Scooby on a trailer and his van had done 230k miles without problems.

Upgrading parts and replacing oem bushes with poly etc should all help extend the life.

cmdrfire:
92k miles on mine so far.
