What's average miles per annum?

[anonymous-user]

Is there some kind of received wisdom of what average is for a GT car and what a ball park mileage adjustment factor is per 1000 miles or so?

6,000 miles a year seems about right , what I will do ........but some only do a few hundred so average about 1,000 as you suggest

40k in 6 years for my 996,as a weekend car, I have a company car for my daily duties.

i do 20 - 25,000 miles a year in my 997.1, but i get the feeling i am in the minority pushing the average up......

If you want to retain value in your car..50miles per annum - to your OPC and back for servicing.
More than that and your car is worthless and by driving it you are totally missing the point of owning such a collectible museum piece. Make sure you don't get any acid rain water, pollen, or bugs on the paint, or God forbid any track rubber stuck in the grills or wheel wells - lest anyone mistake you for a driver.

Perish the thought.

So so true judging by the OPC network cars

I did 6k miles in mine last year, so far this year only 500 but it's not really proper weather yet.

Half of all these are on track too. And most of those even on the black stuff

There are many many GT cars used a lot, at one event over half the cars were GT3s/GT2s.

Confirmation bias is a real thing!

I do have a BMW in the garage which I've driven once this year so that's why I don't post in the BMW section lest I be accused of keeping garage queens!

My OPC had a GT4 for sale last year that had done 16 miles since they’d sold it a year before. Owner lived 8 miles from the showroom....

I mean WTF!

Thanks for the useful replies so far...i ask because i thought i read that about 3k was normal and that the same car that had done more or less than average would have a value adjustment based on a fixed increment ie +/- 50p for each mile above or below average eg 10k = 5k GBP in value adjustment

I’d say the older they get the more important it will be what has been invested into maintenance and mileage becomes less of a factor

That's really daft..He could at least have paid for covered transport home and back..Wouldn't have cost him much..

Maybe I am abnormal/have issues (Mrs Cheib would be the first to say I do...) but I really couldn’t have a car like that sat in my garage and not drive it!
