Bought my 2k in April with 28,000 on it. It now has 53,000 on it! Yep that's right 37,500 miles a year average so far. Imagine if I didn't car pool?

bought my 01 in december 2000 brand new, now has 16,500.

I used to have a 95 maxima and we used to take out a wire that would shut off the speedometer and at the same time would also shut off the mileage counter, so we could prolong our warranty . Anyone know if that can be done on the 5th gen?

oh yeah dont worry about being the one who bought my 95, i totalled it

I've had mine since sept. of 99 and I've got 46,400...

...Recently I've actually started to drive less too....


so at that rate in 5 years the car should be worth about nothing

2k bought in august of 2000, just hit the 20k mi mark. Thats 16K/year. Love driving it, but get a rental car whenever can. Maximas depreciate in value a lot with high mileage. I don't plan on keeping it forever @ same time want to get smthg for it when trading in.

For most cars these days, I don't think that it can be done. To my understanding, the computers in the cars these days keep track of driving habits and can give an error message if something doesn't match up internally with the reported mileage.

I drive 86 miles each way to work everyday. 172 mile per day. 5 days a week...52 weeks in a year.. You do the math

Approx 44K a year and maybe 40k if we factor in a vacation or 2

Joys of living in East Bumf@ck otherwise known as Cape Cod.

I'm probably going to buy a 4th Gen 5spd and give my 2K to my wife so it isn't worth 6 thousand bucks in a year or so.

Purchased car on 8/01 - currently have 3100 on it - avg. less then 10K a year at this rate.

Also I have a 93 honda civic with only 82,000 miles on it - so I dont put a lot of miles on it.

22,500 the first year. Since I got my own place on July 15, 01 I've driven 21,200. I put 2,000 on the loaner the dealer gave me for dropping my car and 19,200 on my car that I got back on July 26
