drive your car for the love of god. They get better with mileage. Seen countless sub 20k Trophys with rust seized aux belt tensioners through lack of use. Cars aren't meant to be parked

I've got a brand new one. Never been driven. Got delivery miles on it.

mate that's not good. You want to hurry that s**t up. By the time you can get in it the exhaust will have rusted off.

Unlucky



every time my one sits for more than a week something goes fcking wrong with it

lol I genuinely feel sick. Now that monstrosity is an example of why mileage means f**k all

Its all about the maintainance. I'd rather own something on 100k with proper history than something on 60k with patchy or no history.

don't disbelieve you. Joe is the most anal person I've ever known when it comes to buying cars..I usually have his hand me downs as I know what he's like

Is such a low mileage a good thing I wonder?

Surely a car of that age with such a low mileage means it's sat around doing nothing for long periods. That can't be good for it. I could be completely wrong on this but it would be something that concerns me.

cars are meant to be driven, my mums sierra sapphire was bullet proof, think it had about 75k on it... never let her down.. Sold it to her sister who barely used it - she had it 3 months and the engine seized

You've got a point.

My 172 was driven nearly everyday for 5 years, never let me down once.. it goes a week without moving, and then throws all it's toys out the pram..lol.

Yer I agree, you could argue that more things will go wrong with my car than a car with 100k on, I have replaced most wear nd tear parts so should be good for now.
