Is this ok?

Hey.
I got my car in March 05
It had 183,000 on the clock, now sep 06 it has 215,000 on the clock.

So thats 32,000ks since i got it.
Is this ok for a 96 EF sedan?

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

Thanks..

Glass's Car Guide states average car klms per year is 15,000 to 25,000

i got mine at the start of the year and have done 11,000

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.

I got my car a year and 9 months ago and it had 205,000 and know its got 232,000 on it! If that is anything to go by!

my old BA XR6 did 70,000kms in the first year! My Current EF XR6 fhas done 20,000 in the last 2 years...

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.

i wouldnt worry. ive done almost 30 000 clicks since i picked mine up last december.
as long as your servicing it regularly nothing to worry about

BaYa · 09-09-2006, 09:19 AM

ive done about 20 000 in a year in mine and its still goin strong

Yeah well about 2 months ago it got a reco head put on.
So should be good for another 100,000ks!
And it is serviced when it should be.

lol i do about 40,000 a year in mine.... but since i got the telstar the ea doesnt do much anymore. but with the telstar ive only had it a month and it allredy done 4,000 and in the past the bluebird did close to 60,000 a year and thats just around town and hardly driving it into melbourne. but i used to deliver pizzas tho... but ive gone back to doing delivery work tho so the telstar will pobably be up in the 60,000 ish range a year too

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 :(

Without a doubt. With my car, I'd say 5,000km's of city driving has been far more detrimental to my car than 50,000km's of country cruising.
