It's about double the average amount of clicks a privately owned vehicle travels in a year.
Thanks.. |

what a question,,how many k's do you think it should do,,what do you think will happen to it,,they are designed to do more than that in a year so i wouldn't worry to much.
my ea did 5000k's in the first two weeks i had it,,and that was with a leaking head gasket.

My EL has 450,000 on it, it doesn't really matter how many kays are on it. I'd prefer a car with 200,000k on it that had only ever done highway cruising than one with 150,000k that had only ever done stop start city driving.

Bought mine 3 years ago with 170,000 on it or thereabouts, and it's just clicked over 275,000, for an average of around 35,000 anually (realistically I probably did 50,000 in the first year, then 30, and then 20 this past year). It's starting to become a bit worn out :(
