91,000 on my 95 855 T5. Still feels like new, though and interior is immaculate.

It`s good to see that people actually use their cars & put the big miles on, I think I was very lucky to get mine with such a low mileage as I can put loads on & its still less than average (great for re sale I think!).
Although at 22mpg I can`t see that happening! Anyway a 30 mile round trip on the bus to work costs me £1.40 & I get to have a kip on the way home :D so my car is for pleasure :D :D

BTW anybody from Cumbria on this board? I`ve seen a couple of 850 R`s out and about Workington.

98 S70 116k, bought it with 96k on two years ago - High mileage cars usually mean cheaper purchase prices!!!!

Happy New year to you all,
my 96 850 T5 has 121,000 on it i bought her 6 years ago with 22,000 miles on the clock ,i have become so attached to it ,drove a Audi S4 4 wheel drive with a view to buying one and a second hand M3,decided to keep the beast and mod her instead what other car can you drive the nuts out of regularly which will give you the performance of a Impreza wrx or similar (straight line speed that is) and dependability,comfort and safety day after day for a small sum.

Hi Jason, how has the reliability been over the past 100k?

Hiya

Well as you can see from my signiture i have over 210k miles on mine and i am trying hard to keep it down! Before i had this baby i had 188000 on a 460 from new too.

As for the lowest mileage there is a car in the US with about 12k on in Florida, sorry

What's the point of having a car that only does a couple of thousand miles a year?

It might be someones pride & joy that they only use for pleasure rather than a day to day hack.
