As nice as your car may be (really nice clean '08), and even with highway miles, 91k miles is high mileage to me as well. I've heard the Texas argument before. The miles do add up. I get it, but it doesn't matter where you live, miles are miles, and price guides?? Well, whatever, but I wouldn't pay extra $$$ for my own car with 60,500 miles (garage kept since day 1) never mind one with even more miles. Retail, perhaps, but not extra. Yes I would definitely pay more $$$ for a car with 20,000 miles on it because the entire car is barely used. Every component of our cars goes through the mileage thing. There are 60k miles on my brakes, my a/c, my suspension, clutch, just everything. Only a used car salesman would consider my car low miles. See post #20 for m05fastbackGT response to my original post. It is spot on. Right in the middle.
"Low miles" can be very subjective and different to many, but members in my local car club would also consider a car approaching 100,000 miles as high mileage. Components will be wearing out, and much sooner than later in many cases. Engines last these days with much higher miles if maintained well, but the same can't be said for the other parts of the car. They have high miles. No getting around it whether accumulated in 5 years or 25 years.

 

that's what I was thinking too, and that's why I half-jokingly posted my 2010 with 105K as "low mileage" earlier in the thread also

 

thank you sir I appreciate the compliment, I havent detailed it properly and take proper pictures but I certainly will soon enough, no matter how much I detail though, pictures will never do it justice 😂

 

54B! I was actually going to respond directly to your concerns over what is considered normal vs high mileage regarding age of the vehicle in question. However, that clearly wasn't the purpose of starting up this thread. The purpose was to gather as many folks as possible who still own 2005-2009 S197 models that have low mileage. Perhaps, I should had been more specific in the thread title by stating "Who has 50k miles and under on their "05-09" instead? Anyhow, I assumed that most folks would interpret low mileage as being 50k miles and under, although everyone has their own opinions/interpretations which I can totally relate to and therefore get it. But nevertheless, that was my interpretation and sole purpose for starting up the thread.. That being said, I totally agree with everything NC07GTCS brought up in his post response below and couldn't had worded his descriptions any better myself.

I totally agree 100% spot on and I couldn't had worded your post response and descriptions any better myself..

Totally agree about pictures never doing justice, no matter how much you detail Meanwhile, we'll be looking forward to seeing some pics of your awesome ride

 

m05fastbackGT, I understand somewhat better as to what you were after with your initial post. I see my car's mileage is basically in limbo. Too many miles to be a toy since my car is a daily driver and not enough miles to qualify as high mileage since there are S-197's with 200K miles of fun on them here. I've since deleted my posts as I see they don't belong here.

 

54B! Just to make certain we're both on the same page, as I mentioned earlier, everyone has their own description/opinions as to what is considered as high mileage vs low mileage, as I totally get where your coming from when you bring up 195k miles on a 13 year old car as average, but once again, the purpose of this thread was to gather as many folks who still own their 2005-09 cars that have low miles on them and once again, I should had specified more clearly in the thread title, I was referring to low mileage as being 50k miles or less and therefore I was clearly wrong for not being more specific in the first place. Anyhow, for what it's worth, NC07GTCS described it best in his post response exactly where I was coming from in my initial post to your response. At any rate, I hope this at least somewhat clarifies things a bit more and as far as I'm concerned, it also wasn't necessary that you felt the need for deleting any of your posts, as your feedback and input is always welcomed and valued here as a fellow Mustang enthusiast

 

Oh no! Never delete posts unless you really screw up. You did not as your opinion is as valued as anyone else. No one is right. Just different interpretations.
Your '08 looks sweet with those miles. You should be proud to show it off. It's not easy to keep a car looking so good when it's being driven regularly. Car folks appreciate that.
Hey, m05fastbackGT, maybe a new thread entitled, "Let's see how nice your high mileage cars still look." Since I'm in the 'middle' I can post again.

 

This is my '08 Bullitt with only 14,000 miles on it. it is all original.

 

I think I'll just lurk around for awhile, but thanks.

 

Actually, there's already an existing thread for upper/higher mileage "05-"09 S197 cars
https://themustangsource.com/forums/...5-09-a-523502/

Welcome aboard! Also thanks for sharing an image of your 14k mile Bullitt, as she looks absolutely stunning

 

 

very nice ride.
and also welcome to the source.

 

33k on my 07 Gt-500 All Highway Miles Commuting 07-10. Probably 2k 2011 to date! 2 or 3 Batteries During The Latter! Still Smells New on a Hot Day!

Oh and on A Side Note I got an 1980 Ltd 2 Door with 26K.

About two months ago I bought a 2006 GT Premium with 7,200 miles. My first Mustang and will likely be with me to my grave. I love this car!

 

Very low miles indeed congrats!

 

Yup! 7,200 miles is most definitely low mileage... Perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing some photo's as I'm sure we all would be very interested in seeing your new to you 2006 GT premium... With that being said,

 

That is not even 500 miles a year. Wow, very low, like new and 16 years young!

 

Couldn't had said it better myself

 

Got An Email Back From Craig Today Look Forward To A Visit Soon! Got a Feeling Mileage is Still Very Low!

Perhaps Some Other Thread Subscribers will Stop By and Say Hi!

 

Hi KC!
34231K as of today! No need to update the picture it still looks the same!
