Low Mileage Z's

GingaBreadMan · 02-08-2010, 10:03 PM

I know we have a thread with Z's that have high mileage after a year (I think someone has 24k miles after a year of ownership). So how about the other end of the spectrum. Z's with the lowest mileage. I have 4.5k miles at about 8 months and plan on having between 6-8k miles after a year. How many 370z owners drive their vehicle as little as I do? Granted I luv the 370, but it's not my daily driver and it only comes out on dry warm days.

1500 miles in 3+ months. It was a very painful 2 months to get past the break-in period.. My daily commute is only 3 miles each way and I drive the minivan on the weekends (3 kids under 5). The Z is the only thing for me to look forward to during the work week.

1300 miles in about 3 months. Not my daily driver. Pretty much just take it out for joy rides or when I can't help myself

7k since last May. She's been tucked away in the hangar at the airport since November and won't come out until the snow and salt are off the roads.

5k miles since May, short commute to work...

around 1300 miles after 8 months of ownership, doing 1st oil change soon

I only drive it on saturdays or on my day off when i go to my gf's house, always been parked in the garage. I have a civic as my daily commuter and my place of work is only 3 mins away. I will never drive the Z to work since there are many scratches and door dings on my civic since i've been working at that plaza since 1999. People these days just don't care about the property of others.

About 1600 miles in four months but that's because its always in the shop. Damn car needs constant maintenance!

First the Hood flew off, then the brakes failed, the paint peeled off at high speeds, headlights burnt and turned black. Pulleys flew off so I replaced, intakes clogged so I had to replace...damn exhaust was stolen...list goes on.

At least that's what i told the wife anyway

ducky · 02-09-2010, 12:08 AM

damn moto..that suck..ur car attract too much attention maybe? ^_^

I bet I'm the lowest Z as a daily driver!

I've had mine almost 4 months and just hit 2200 miles.

It's my daily driver... I just don't have to drive far to work. My woman does most of the shopping, so she'll take her SUV. If we go out together somewhere, we'll take the Z.

I anticipate about 8-9k at the end of my first year of ownership.

2100 miles in 5 months.. it's my only car but I take one of my parent's cars when the weather is bad (kicked the G35x out of the garage!)

just have been dying to drive my Z, but due to the thunder blizzard (30 inches of snow past weekend and 20 more inches speculated tomorrow in Virginia) my car has been hibernating in the garage......

damn............no more snow.........no more snow...............
