100,000KM

[A.B.Normal]

The trucks odometer just rolled over to 100,000KM ,I could almost hear it depreciating .

 

[highwayman]

It started depreciating the second you bought it...

 

[unclehobart]

Sounds dependable. Just plan on keeping it forever and shoot for 500,000km.

 

[A.B.Normal]

Yeah ,but being an '03 with higher mileage now its value is lessened even more. :sad:

Doesn't matter, a car is not an investment is a luxury.

You should feel good that you have squeezed that much juice out of your money.

 

[unclehobart]

Yeah... its a truck, not a stock.

I don't plan on selling or trading it so $$ value is irrelevent,its just that seven digits on the odometer is kinda an occasion to mark.

Mine's a 2000 model and it just went past 93,000 miles yesterday.

 

[Nixy]

Mine's an 06 and it hit 7500km today.

 

[Altron]

I got you all beat.

I know that I have, ATM, ~43,650 miles on it. I know that the previous owner bought it in like '01 with ~70,000 miles on it.

Now, 70,000 miles on 12 years sounds like not a lot, but I don't know if the first owner was one of those people who never drove anywhere. It could have been that he didn't drive at all, or that he flipped the odo back in the nineties, which means I have either 143k or 243k on it. Any way to find out for sure?

kM...isn't that like, I don't know, a tenth of a mile or something?

 

[Mirlyn]

my 99' is about to show 108k.

 

[Altron]

I converted 243 to KM and it was like 400k. 143 was like 250k.

 

[Mirlyn]

my 99' is about to show 108k.

Aye, thats in miles on the Mustang.

I once sold a van with 280,000 miles on it.

 

[Inkara1]

Ford was running an ad here for a little while about having the most trucks still in service with over 250,000 miles.

 

[Nixy]

hmmm I wonder how many miles my Dad's truck has...

 

[Inkara1]

I'd guess well under 100,000... cars today are expected to go a lot farther than cars in the past were... back then, 100,000 was considered the end of the expected lifespan.
