Trying desperately to keep the miles off my Edition 30 but it's a painful as I loved driving the thing.
Luckily I have access to a 2nd car for routine commuting but I am mindful as it being a limited model that later down the road good low mileage examples will be sought after.
Just turned 27k in mine on a 2007. :driver:
How many miles have you now covered in your car's and how long will you keeping it ?
-
Not far off 13k and a year old.
Its all fixed and better now aswel :laugh:

March 08 - 22800
It's there to be used, not looked at :driver:

Further down the road?
You thinking like 20 years down the road, then?
I cannot see how ED30 will be gaining in value, ever. It's not like it's a special edition Porsche or Ferrari... And it is not THAT limited. I don't know how it is in Britain, but here in Switzerland there are tons of these cars for sale.
So what's then the point of having ED30 and not driving it?
I've done about 38000km in less then 2 years, which is more than I expected, actually. And I will continue driving it as much as before, if not more.

17.5k miles, just turned 1 year old, Loved every mile in it :driver:

Correct I didn't for 1 minute expect it to gain value just that being Britain and stealers being stealers anything remotely doing 12k a year as the black book states the average motorists does (Personally don't believe that unless you walk to work and go nowhere) when it comes to trading the car in mileage is still a huge issue for some.
I'm trying to keep mundane driving ie commuting to work on my other car but as mentioned it's hard leaving the Ed 30 at home.
Can't wait for my next mods to try and catch up with you fellas!

Mines just passed 9500 miles or so.
Picked it up at the end of July with 4275 miles on it.
So Ive covered just over 5000 in just under 3 months, but it did include a 2000 miles road trip to the south of france. So basically I am covering my average of 1000-1500 miles a month, all purely please, I use my cars at work for business.
SteveP, what miles is your on now? And what do you do to rack up so many miles?
-
Funnily a stealer told me THIS WEEK that 30k was a bit much on a 2007 ED30 stating that as limited model most were garaged :rolleye: :laugh:
I don't know what planet they are on :confused: :stupid:
Still holding onto mine for a bit....maybe a diff and some new Induction coming from APR! :wink:

24k in 17 months on mine.
Now 28k in 21 months - being on holiday for 6 weeks out of the country helped keep mileage down, despite having withdrawal symptoms.
