FTO AUSTRALIA

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?

Thanx

1995 mine is on 84 000
bought it at 63 000 about 15 months ago from japan

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 !~

My guess would be that on average a 1995 FTO would have about 90,000 kms on it.

ive got a 94 GPX atm with 102,000 kms on it. bought it early november last yr with 98,000 k's on it. n im the 2nd aus owner.

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...

Aren't cars in Oz based on 15,000-20,000kms per year? Do we do more driving than those overseas?

well considering that Oz is mainly 80% dessert and bush, I'm not surprised!

oh, and I average 25000kms a year...

The price of being a country boy!

i suppose i should also add that it's 25000km per year of nothing but pure, unadulterated driving enjoyment!

so how many speeding tickets do you average a year?

well believe it or not - NONE! *touchwood*

i don't care care what you say or think of my claims, but my driving record is absolutely clean (full points to date) except for 1 parking fine...

...possibly might be related to the price of being a country boy??

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!

95 GR tip got it at 76,000 in march last year now its on 92,500.


so id dow average about 17 - 18 a year, but this is my first year with it so i have to wait for this year to get an average.

12/94 gpx, done 68k's when i got it and is on about 71k's............on target for 5k's for a whole year

even though that includes about 4-5 months if being illegal (stupid laws).

my 96 gpx manual is on 70,000km

got it a year ago on 56,000km

14,000km for a year is well below average i guess since it's mainly a weekend car.

im trying to keep it low for better resale value.
