Just curious to know where everyone is at with their miles. I got my 09 Sv/Sport back in December with about 43k. I just turned over to 47k.

bought mine in 5/10/2011 with 10miles now im at 11K i recently go a new job where i take the bus & train to work because i cant park in the city to much $$$$ so ill be putting less milage on mine..
I usually drive my 97 more than the 09 so the miles won't stack up. When I took the 09 in for service, this guy had a 10 with 130k. He drove the sh** out that max.

Mine had 6495 on it back in June 2011 when I got it. A year later I'm over 35K. However, from June to November, I was putting about 1000 miles a week on it back and forth to work. Now my roundtrip daily commute is about 10 miles. Wooo hooo!!!

I don't see any point in keeping miles off a car. It's either yours or you're preserving it for the next owner. It'll depreciate like a diary product no matter what you do, so you might as well enjoy it.
My Max is a 2010 purchased February 2010. It has 19.5K, mostly from a repeated 40-mile highway run.

You can't help but drive the car man! I hate driving my DD during the week to work. I only do it to keep some of the miles off of it. What are you drives looking like to have 2700 within a month?Originally Posted by GNCMaxima

I'm curious how it will shake out at the end of the lease term. I drive about 6000 miles a year on a 12k/yr lease. So it will be interesting what the numbers look like when the time comes to turn it in or buy it outright. This topic could be worthy of a new thread, as we aren't the only two people here who lease.

Yea, but the more miles you put on it, the faster it depreciates. Besides, I'm on lease.Originally Posted by alexdi

I have about a 75 mile commute one way. I want no parts of driving the max that amount of miles daily. I already drive it everywhere on the weekends as it is. I also drive it to work on Fridays as well.

My GF commutes 50+ miles a day in the 2012 so 12,000 miles on the clock since mid November 2011. She loves the XM radio and bluetooth in this car.

QUESTION !
about miles, I drive 30K A YEAR! I drive alot for work, I bought my 09 MAX cash for 23K, SV Premium package with 36k miles on it. had it for 8 months and now have 55,000 miles on it! in a year it'll have about 80. I've always had BMW or Benz before this max but I fell in love with the max! i love my car, never getting anything else for a while. to be honest i want the new maxima and i was thinking about selling my max now and getting something else like the kia optima (just cause its not so expensive and holds its value) what do you think? should i sell my max in a year with 80K miles on it or sell it now and get a optima and then sell that in year to get with 30kish miles on it for the 8TH GEN MAX (What ever it is, i saw the new altima and i think the new max is gunna be sickkkkk)...went to carmax and they said they'd give me 19 for it right now

Hard decision but keep in mind everytime you make a new purchase, that's another sales tax (depending on where you live), and possibly more DMV fees. If you keep your current car and hold out for the 8th gen till most likely 2014, you would save a little change.

Thanks, yea it is a hard decision.. I think in a year i can probably sell the kia optima for 16 with 30,000 miles and probably the same thing for the maxima with 80,000.... some one told me to try and sell it before 75k because then you can still put an extended warranty on it...

i wonder how long my 09 max will last until no major problems, i keep up with the maintenance like a ****, im guessing 125 miles until no major problems
