My 97 Max is driven daily. It usually gets about 30 a day I guess for school and stuff but much more on weekends. It has 55k on it now and still going strong.

96se auto 163,100 miles (since new). I average 1,000-1,200 miles per week (99% highway). All amsoil lubricants, Sunoco Ultra 94 always. Strict preventative maintenance, beyond a dealer's wildest dreams! I literally feather my gas pedal! On a trip i would average 475-500 miles per a tank! And most important i don't beat the PIG SH*T out of it, i just drive it.

Yeah sure ... and it was my mom's daily driver before I bought it from her.

I put on a lot more miles though.

It just went over 90K about a week ago.

My max is daily driven.

Right now it has 30,000 miles but that is because the previous driver barely drove it at all. I usually drive on average of 45 miles a day from work and school.

98 and 48K
Don't drive it everyday anymore...

In today's (2/8/02) NY Times (automobile section), there is an article on a guy in LI that has driven his Volvo just about 2,000,000 miles, and it's on record at the dealers on how many times the odometer has rolled !
(article is also on-line)

Hey - I have a 98 SE and it has 78K on it now. 60 miles a day is a little more than the average person puts on their car, but it's not A LOT. I commute 52 miles each way to work everyday, so I put on over 100 miles a day - THAT'S A LOT. I've only been doing this for about 6 months now, or I'd have a lot more miles on my car...
