Also I have not been farther than a 50-100 mile radius of where I live.

It depends. Did you drive that many miles?

Bought my MCS05 figuring on maybe 12-15k per years. But it's hard not to drive and I put on over 25k first year.

Currently have CAI, 15% pulley, Oil Catch Can, Denso Plugs, VGS and frosted flames (sure that adds acouple of hp) Have been thinking about lighter wheels, rear sway bar, endlinks, exhaust, coil/ wires, and maybe a 2% crank pulley. As a daily driver of a 140 mile commute, I'm not sure how far to push it Of course its all as money allows. So I don't know which one is next

My 02 MCS as 11,700 miles on it to-date.

And it's not collecting dust...It's in the garage and it's under a cover.

And yes! It's emaculate!

KBB (private party) value is $18,700.

I had 10k in the first month, Picked up Aug 6 2005. But have only put 4k more on Francis since getting home. So I do about 1000 miles a month, right at the average
cheers

picked The Zoomness up April I think? so far about 10,500 miles

Normal mileage for any of my parents cars is about 7k for my moms Acura (but she JUST got a new one, so i zainoed it for her) and maybe 14-15k on the Subie wagon but since getting the MINI its had about 3000 miles put on it

anyway, the MINI is well past the daily driver mileage...

Cheers,

We picked our mini up June 1, 2005, it has over 14k , that is high mileage for us , we are definetly going to exceed what is considered "average" mileage , we were talking about trying to start keeping the mileage down some, but I don't think that will be possible, the car is just way to fun to drive.
