I'm just wondering, how many kilometers is sorta the avarage, for an fto to have.... for each year would be cool... I guess it matters when the car has been complianced...
Also if, you have higher than the avarege, how is the car holding up?
Well now I know I am driving too much brought my car with 63,500 k's on it 18 months ago and now 111157 ... thats over 47,000 k's in 18 months anyone would think I love my FTO or something !~
well, statistics provided by import brokers indicate that a majority of cars have an average of 10,000kms done per year (in Japan) so for example a '95 FTO would have an average mileage of 90000kms, so obviously if you are lucky enough to find a decent example with lower mileage then you're doing well (but as usual keep a lookout for tell-tale signs of wear n' tear etc to back up the odometer readings).
My '96 FTO came with 42000kms (which is very very low) so I took a gamble and bought the car through the Jap auctions (via a broker) and since it arrived i can vouch for the very good condition of the car overall... engine is running/idling very smooth, no wear on seats/steering, handles well etc...

95 GR, at about 80,000km's. Got it at 72,000 last july.
Averages change from country to country, consider japan - so built up, a drive to work might take an hour but only be 10k's or less away....where as here - i live 30 minutes from work - easily 20k's each way.
Most car yards here in oz state between 15,000-25,000 being normal.
hmmmm mine is 63,000km atm, it was 52,000km 2yrs ago when it landed in Oz. It was a wkend car until now, so i guess thats why my km are much lower then most ppl.
Ohhh & its only 15km from home 2 work, so that helps 2!
