ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 How many miles did your car have when you bought it? How many does it have now? I'm curious haha.1997 Starlet 1.3 Sportif 5dr, bought in 1999 by Mum with 34k miles..11 years later? On 43k in my ownership, got it off her at 39k.How about you guys?Shafz. Quote
jason_l Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 The engine in the Demon i believe has done about 84,000 miles but i haven't had the chance to fire it up yet.but my Lex has done 153,000 and is still going strong, just turned 10 years old Quote
glanza.jack Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 First glanza i bought on 81k and in two months i put it up to 88k, the excitement of having boost i couldnt stop driving! My glanza now i bought on 61k and only put about 1500 on it so not too bad, i managing to hold off a bit Quote
ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 What are IS200's like on insurance, I'm actually really considering one, especially as good ones are well under 5k now.. Not for now though, maybe in 2 years?Shafz. Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 when i baught my glanza it had 62k kilomters. when the engine blew up it had 107k kilometers i had it for almost 2 years. the replacment engine had 94k kilometers iircmy new GT has 72k but ive not checked if thats miles or kilometers yet Quote
Raz Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 My glanza had 123 kilometers My new starlet HAD 43000 km its now at 44000km Quote
ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 What new starlet did you get XPS?Sorry for offtopic.Shafz. Quote
LeeG Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 bought my glanza last august with 73000miles on it and engine went at start of may with 93000miles.lol Quote
ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 The same one at that rover showroom? Not too far from me then haha, I haven't driven past there in weeks though.Shafz. Quote

Not for now though, maybe in 2 years?Shafz.not bad i guess. I pay £450 fully comp with protected no claims. Im 27 with 8 years no claims though. But thats everything declared and my girlfriend also ensured fully comp (she has 3 points and has written her last car off)..........they are pretty slow though Quote
ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 @Jason_l - After my starlet N/A I think I'd find em pretty quick.. though I have driven some "decently" quick cars.They're a bit common around here though Shafz. Quote

Me and my girlfriend share cars so as i drive 40miles a day i use her 1.0 yaris and she uses my Lexus to go the 2 miles to her work. Then i have the Demon for power so i have best off all worlds They are pretty rare around here, i hAve only ever seen 1 other modded one!The IS200 apparently has the least strained six cylinder engine ever put into a production car so it only produces 153bhp froma 2 litre but as the engine is so chilled out then it just keeps going and going and.............. over on the lexus owners club there are storeys of 500k plus miles and still going Quote
ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 Haha, I see quite a few here, South London, unfortunately some of the "drug dealer" types have them too..I've driven a Punto 1.4 Sporting and that was decently quick, I think on paper quicker than the IS200? I'd love a lexus though..Shafz. Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 get an altezza! id have got 1 of them if i didnt want a 4x4 starlet soo much Quote
ShafzC Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 Unfortunately I'm still 17.. so this is all dreaming right now haha, but I could make it happen at 18 just insurance would tear me apart.Shafz. Quote
