milage

[Guest Deano H]

Being a previous supra owner looking to get a new one and shopping around what i was wondering would be a high milage??? for example i have seen some 1993 cars with 61000miles and some 1997 cars with 96000miles, what in a supra owners oppinion would you classify as high milage on a supra???

100,000 isnt a big deal for a Supra i think around 120,000 i would class as High milage.

I've read posts from some of the more respected technical guys on here saying that it's the condition of the car you should worry about, not how many times it's been to the moon

 

Also, how is 100k miles ok, yet 120k is "high" mileage?! What makes those 20k miles so much worse than the previous few?? My car's on 106k now and the only niggles are things you've kind of got to expect from a car made 15 years ago.

150-175K I would consider a high mileage supra. 3000cc engines can rack up the miles with ease if serviced properly and regularly.

As my supra is only on about 18,500 miles (genuine) anything

 

above 50,000 is high mileage for me!

But surely having NOS on it would put off buyers more than slightly higher mileage, it certainly would me.

 

It has to be the condition of the car generally. A car with 20k on it that has not been looked after will potentially be a higher risk than a 100k car that has been well maintained!

id say anything above 70k

The nos has only just been put on and with a proggressive

 

controller to protect the engine! & with only 18,500 miles on the

 

clock, the cars in mint condition! (apart from the front splitter

 

as its so bloody low)

i hear of loads of supras in the states with 200k miles plus, with no major issues

I have one that comes in now and again for servicing that's done well over 300,000. I have a Volvo of mine that's done 360K, so given care 100K is nothing. The MKIV TT auto clocked up a lot of miles from the south coast to Aberdeen regularly, over a 2 year period. Never had the head off, and on stock, original turbos. Original gearbox, too. Uses a bit of oil, but generally a very sound car still.

Just out of interest I got into an old Mercedes taxi whilst in the Algarve last week it had 1,400,000 KM on the clock or 860,000 miles.....

 

The driver said that it had only had routine maintenance and a cylinder head gasket!!

I tried for a free taxi ride home from the pub last Saturday night. I cited the ABS light permanently on, and the fact that the mileometer hadn't increased much in over a month. He was having none of it though, and seven miles of unlit roads seemed an unpleasant option at the time

I was in a toyota avensis i think (taxi) in dubai and it had over 400,000 km and it felt and ran very well...Toyota quality again!
