Average mileage question

[Loz8]

Not sure what happened with the other post. Apologies for dupl. I was wondering what mileage people put on their 360/430s or gallardos etc on average in 12months. The modern day super car being far more usable etc... cheers

27,000 miles in 2 1/2 years in the Gallardo.

I would say the average Gallardo is doing ~8,000/year, average 430 is doing ~4,000/year

Clearly the average PH user car is going to be doing far more
I've done ~10,000 in both the 430 and Gallardo

I have done 6K in around 6mnths in mine. Will probably end up doing 10k over the year.

Funny how loads of secondhand Ferrari seem to be under 20k no mater how old they are

[Loz8]

Thats kind of why i asked the question...As much as people say they use them they always move them on before too many miles and then if they have put some miles on it the next owner must limit the miles to get it back into 'line' with average!
Im thinking 4k a year

I think you need to make a mental distinction between people on here, who tend to buy their cars for the thrill of driving, and those who tend to buy for the thrill of being able to afford it / showing off / adding to a collection of 5 who would tend to use much less.
In my case I can't afford to buy and not use! I did 8k in 9mths. 10k a year irrespective of car is norm for me.

i've done 10k in 5 months in my 360....
although 6.5k of that was on the FB5k tours.......

I'm not sure how easy it is to clock a Fezza, esp a later model 430..?

I know with Porsche, that everytime the dealer plugs into the ECU, the driven mileage is displayed, which can be checked against the speedo.

Would be surprised if the new model Fezzas, did not have the same ability.

I suspect the computer experts will be able to plug into the ECU after they change the miles so as when the dealer conects the SD2 it will not be detected.

Do not trust the miles on any luxury cars.

So many of them are clocked!!

Many of the posters on PH I will bet claim low mileages and in fact have benefitted from a reduction...

His '02 996TT only has 24k miles on the clock, so must have been clocked?

Nice one, Joe.

I was averaging 7500 miles per annum. Larry is currently up to 17000, and happy as a skylark.

This mileage debate is interesting. NEO, Bosscerbera and I seem to be the only people who believe a car that's been used is better than a garage queen.

As for all the suspiciously low mileage Fezzas?

And me!!

Mine comes to work every day, whatever the weather.

6.5K so far since April, would have been about 9k but for teething problems, but all locked away at the mo due to stupid work commitments

[taaffy]

5k miles since march, shelved pretty much during the winter.

Day off tomorrow now and sunshine forecast here, enjoy your work y'all

[blot]

Brilliant blue sky, bright sunshine, 5 degrees C & empty roads.

What a pleasant way to spend a Friday morning. Have to say, 07 engine and exhaust is muchos noisy with plenty of cold air about, seems to add another 10db to it!
