Td42 milestone
Had it for a couple of months now, bought it with 196k but the GQ rolled over 200,000ks on the weekend. What other low ks are out there?

I guess mine is still a baby at 179,000kms. Have service records (every 5000kms) back to first service in Sept ’06. Bought in 2011 with 153,000kms. Still ‘saving’ it for it’s intended purpose.

I sure hope so, if things pan out as we hope we’ll start putting some miles on it next year. The reputation for motor longevity was one of the main reasons for choosing a TD42.

as some one said to me, not driving your car to keep the km's down for resale is like not having sex with your girlfriend for the next guy she goes out with.

Wow 179k is awesome Cuppa. Same here, bought it with intentions of keeping it long term. Spend years building it, driving it and getting to know it inside out.
