montana 89 Posted May 20, 2014 I keep hearing these commercials for leases & they all quote 10,000 miles. Seems pretty low. I'm not looking to lease nor buy. I'm just curious what you guys put on your car (average) per year? For me: around 18,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 719 Posted May 20, 2014 About 8000-9000 That will go up a bit next year with my son starting Middle School and dropping him off and picking him up will add some miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,595 Posted May 20, 2014 When I lived in Montana and Wyoming I put around 20,000 to 25,000 miles a year on my vehicles. But in houston I only put around 10,000 miles per year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted May 20, 2014 Roughly 9 on my car. 20 mile RT commute. 3-4 on wife's car, less than a 1 mile RT commute. We traded in her 15 year old Malibu last year and it had 48K and ran like a friggin race car. Someone got very lucky with that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungwater 588 Posted May 20, 2014 I put about 25K, in sales with a company car so it's all just business mileage. My wife has a three year old land rover with about 10K miles on it. On the weekends we usually just walk or ride bikes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 928 Posted May 20, 2014 Between 6,000-7,000. It helps that my job is literally a par 5 from my house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,085 Posted May 20, 2014 Around 15-18K per year. I have a bout a 35-40 minute daily commute one way to work. Good thing is that its all highway miles so those are easy on the car miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parrot 789 Posted May 20, 2014 Probably about 12-15k between the wife's car and mine. Mostly chasing kids to sports. Early in our marriage we leased a car with a 10k limit. We always stayed under but we had to be careful about it. That ended up being dumb because we bought the car at the end of the lease anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,323 Posted May 20, 2014 About 8 or 9k. Live pretty close to work as I absolutely hate long commutes. But I do like to drive if it's for longer trips to a neighboring city or further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
penultimatestraw 473 Posted May 20, 2014 2-3K. Bike to work ~15 miles - great exercise, and limits the amount I drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,213 Posted May 20, 2014 Not sure yet. My new job is 12 miles one way, but I'm averaging more than 1K per month this year. I think it may be due to my daughter learning to drive and us going on a lot of practice drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 426 Posted May 20, 2014 Both cars combined: About 25,000 a year. Maybe slightly less. Mom lives in Houston, Dad lives in Denver, we take vacactions...so it adds up. Plus, both daughters play volleyball, so we travel to tournaments and stuff during the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

30 Fat, Bald & Texan 5 Posted May 21, 2014 I drive about 32-35K which may explain why I just bought a Ford Focus after driving a big truck for the last 18 years. I would think that people in Texas drive quite a bit more than a lot of other places. When we were in CO I prolly drove 20K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
