Mileage Two: How many miles do you cover in a year??
Hi!
Thought Jimmy's post was a great idea,so it inspired me to add this one too!
How many miles do you do in your 480 per year?
Me? 40000 average.Basically its like a mint 480 thats being given the life of a carefully driven company car!

Since getting the 480 last September I've did about 7-8K. Dire need of a service, still trying to get a couple of bits though.
From August 2004 up to September 2006 I covered about 40k in my Mini. The poor engine did that on two services, too!
Nothing like hitting the road and just driving!

yeah the v70 is a good car used to have a v90 which was very good and used to eat up the mileage without a problem. should look at them!! there pretty cheap for a top of the range one.
