N80Jamie Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 For the last couple of weeks i've been thinking about how much i've spent on my car and how much more i'm planning on spending to get it to how i want. My glanza is on about 147,000km which is about 90,000 miles, runs perfect, starts fine etc but im just worrying about selling it on when i decide to move on. In a couple of years time i rekon the clock will be on 170k+ (km) and i think this will put majority of people off buying the car. Any of you get the same feeling?

N80Jamie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Guess i'll just worry about it when that time comes then haha. Out of interest, how much is an engine rebuild using standard parts compared to going forged? Possibly something to consider for next year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 My glanza is on 190k now.going strong!its been counting in miles since 177km Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 At the end of the day its only a car, mine will just be broke so not really bothered.Anything could happen to it in the mean time aswell so that would be the least of my worries Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 This is why i bought a fairly low mileaged one! Hate randomly putting miles on it but its there for driving so it gets driven daily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daz gt turbz Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 mines on 150,000km, gets driven everyday and i love it and it doesnt bother me, but as sparkster said, i wont be selling mine as a whole so the only place my 150,00km+ shell will be going is the scrapper!
