terawua Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Thats odd... on 21st december I will have owned mine 3 years. and I have only done 9000miles in three years.... what a wasted opportunity! having said that only 30000 miles total on my odometer!

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Almost same here, over 2.5 years. Think that the only thing that has actually broken and required spares on mine is the radiator, which I replaced for £125. Not even had a bulb blow.....

terawua Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Yeah I serviced mine twice, which is only cos of the time, not cos of the mileage - bomb proof fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLC Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 They still great after 4yrs, 60k miles. Disregarding service costs I think i've shelled out £30 for a new battery for faults/failures.... the modding cost in that time was a killer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasport Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 2 1/2 years for me, put 30k on it had loads of problems with wishbones, but put that down to bloody speed humps everywhere used to go over 19 in 4 miles to get to work everyday so about 45 humps a day. not a day i haven't loved having it though. only 5 days and i get to drive it again after 4 weeks without her. what a christmas present :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I'm almost at 4 years now. Although its not been out of my garage for the past 5 months! Must get that battery charged and take her for a spin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I know, I've not even looked in the garage for 3 weeks so I hope its still there! I just seem to have lost all interest in it this year. Might take the opportunity over the xmas break the give it a service, new boots and MOT'd, then up for sale. Let someone else enjoy it, as I dont ever need to drive it. And after getting a couple of bikes as playthings, I cant see it getting used much anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I'm nearly at 3 years now. Surprised I've kept a car that long but with the prices so low its hardly worth selling all the time its reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 7 years in February! Is that a record? Cant believe its been that long, I've never had one car for so long and never thought once of changing it for another. Spent a lot of dosh on it though! Not on repairing it, just modifying.
