Drive the damm thing, it's not like a rare classic.
I sold my 7 year old 330 with 37,000km
I didn't end up getting much more than if it had done 80,000.
I've done 7,000 in just over a year with the new one, so I am thrashing this one

One thing you're forgetting is though you don't have to SELL your girlfriend to the next guy. Maybe then keeping her in good uh...condition might be important

That being said, my car's on a lease that gives me 80,000km/4 years. I racked up 19,800km for my first year which was cutting it quite close - so I for one have to watch my kilometres very carefully.

Nope, 1 Prado for a bit and 2 A4's. 1st A4's CVT went at 210k's and was like 8k for a new one. Ended up getting a good trade in on a new model which now has 180,000 on it.

I believe it's around 15,000km for private owners.
