Lowest mileage 2004?

Bought my '04 new in September 2004 and it just turned 27,000 miles. I think it's just getting broken in. Runs like a champ.

Had I not started to work on a local project back in November 2009, I would probably beat you. I had about 20K miles on a 6 years old car back then, because I was flying for work every week.
Now I'm at 57K (since I drive ~70 miles a day).

I think that I might be the winner of this contest. I have about 31 K kilometers (~19.3K miles). From 2004 to 2009 I drove it locally (work was 10 minutes away) and the occasional road trip. From 2009 to now, it's been in storage in Canada because I live in NYC for now. Every time I go home to visit (3 or 4 times a year), I take it on a zoom-zoom trip.

my 04 is just turning 28,600. yeh so your saying, hey, he must not like driving it. I love driving it but, well, overseas work kept a lid on the daily driving, but its still as fresh a drive as the time it was pulled off the showroom floor...

yeeah babie........

You can't just say that and not tell us what your mileage is.

Car originally sold Aug 2003, I bought it March 2005 w/ 16k on it. It's now at 48500.

Not the winner for sure, but it's really low mileage for the age.

(Only put 500 miles on it over the last two years.. had minor front lip damage and bald tires.. had to wait until I could afford to fix it)...

Otherwise I only drive it in the summer here in MN. It still drives like a champ... over the last 2-3 years though I've had to put in a lot of maintenance to keep up with everything. Plugs, coolant, brake pads/rotors, brake fluid, new tires, few cosmetic parts...

(Brake pads were not warn out, but it wasn't stopping like it used to.. new brake pads/rotors fixed that...)
