Title: Well its finally happened / Whats your mileage?
Post by: Mirez on July 13, 2014, 11:48:30 AM
11 Years old and she's just ticked over (and yes I know I missed the exact moment but I was towing a boat!)

The golf will be on 90k by the end of the month and its only 4 years old!

Mine's at about 88 so should hit it in the next 18 months or so. My l'il Ford Ka that I'd owned from new was at about 98k when I sold her to make way for the Galaxy, miffed I didn't have her for long enough to click over the hundred 'thou! Good little car, served me well, shame the chassis build quality let it down!

Certainly was, I can't imagine getting back in a KA and driving it now! Quite a bit more body roll in the Galaxy, hardly surprising, the flip side of that is it's a much plusher ride. Obviously the Ka is much lower to the ground, but I much prefer the view of the road from higher up!

My 03 galaxy is on 118k still ticking along nicely although the turbo has a tendency to cut out now an again once you reach around 50mph

There are still a few low miler Mk2's out there, mine had done 83k when I bought it, though low mileage of course isn't a guarantee it's been well looked after or that it's not been bashed and badly repaired previously as I was to find out!  :-[

Our old MK2 which my daughter now drives has 146.000 but after just doing a round trip to Germany and back (1100 miles) in our Sharan I feel the newness has certainly gone from the Galaxy.

The Sharan can sit comfortably at 100MPH on the German autobahn without having to shout and still hear the radio :)
