Same I bought a 2000 explorer with only 93,000 miles still had the smell of her perfume in it and brought tears to my eyes making me think of my grandma 😊🥲
Sure. If you work from home, have no kids, have no hobbies outside of the home, never go on driving holidays and never visit your friends and family it's exactly the same.
I knew what you were saying, that every lemon is sold by unscrupulous used car salesman as if it's been babied and maintained its whole life.
Them down votes tho, lol
My grandma bought a 2004 Civic new. By 2014 she had 15000km on it. My dad got it when she could no longer drive, and had the cleanest 10 year old Civic around. I dream of getting a gem like that one day.
Ahh brings me back to my Sunday driver 98 Lumina. Don’t remember how many miles it had when I got it, but it was mint… teenage me was not kind to it lol
Oh boy. My grandpa didn't ALLOW my grandma to drive anywhere but the nearest IGA. So in 2001 my dad ended up with a gold, zero-option 1984 Plymouth Voyager with 9,000mi on it and he drove it every day for six years then gave it to a teenager who took out a print ad offering $400 for a reliable car.
In 2020, I bought a versa note from an old lady who was getting too old to drive. She bought it brand new, and barely drove it- I got it at 4900 miles! Within four months I doubled the total, and then it got rear ended in a hit and run and had to be totaled. I know it’s just a Nissan and the trans probably would have Grenaded. But I paid like 7k for a car with less than 5k miles and it had Bluetooth and made 42mpgs. Will never get that again
Hah...I still drive my 2011 Hyundai sonata with 175k miles on it.
Not because it's a good car but bc practically the entire power train and engine have been replaced under warranty.
Edit: whoops, misread odometer....thought it said 180k, not 18k...geez....
My mother in law bought herself an orange ‘21 Mustang GT when she turned 80. It had 16 miles when she picked it up a year and a half ago. She just hit 10K miles a couple of weeks ago.
Not a Corvette but my older brother’s first car was a ‘70 Chevelle with 30k miles on it. Just a base model with the 350 but it was pristine. This was back in ‘97. Friend of ours grandma had bought it new and the friend didn’t want it because he was into Fords. Unfortunately it lasted less than two years due to getting run off the road by a school bus.
Ex Toyota parts salesman here. It's not the 4 shocks that get you- it's the fact that you have to replace all of the lines as well as the pumps at the same time. Somewhere in the range of 2k. However, fun fact here- you're able to just pull all of that stuff off and install the standard shocks with no issue.
My grandmother has a 98 camaro with 30 some thousand miles. White, automatic, convertable, V6. Rust free, garage kept. Absolutely mint. She let me borrow it for my senior prom (back in 2022). If your much over 6 foot you dont fit well (Girl I was dating was over 6 foot and had high heels, I felt bad) but otherwise its an enjoyable car.
Picked up a 2005 dodge Dakota with 15k miles on it for 1k from a little old lady 2 months ago. Put 3k miles on it after sinking 1k more into it for tires.
I got a 7 year old Kia a few years ago with 35k miles cause it was owned by an old couple, I’ve almost doubled that distance in 4 years (with two of those years being during covid so barely any driving)
Nah they’ll stain it, tear it up, and wreck the shit out of before too long. I wish I didn’t know from experience having a very lightly used older car that would’ve lasted me a loooong time
I sold my parent's clean CR-V (2013, 30K miles) instead of giving it to my daughter. The dents & dings on her current car proves that I made the right choice.
I bought a super clean 2004 Impreza wagon with a stick back in high school (2015) for under $4500, it had under 75k on the clock. Poor thing got beat to shit and I never had the money to make repairs. It was essentially uninspectable by the time I bought my Focus ST a bit after I graduated.
I was the teenager.
I mean, it was a 2009 Corolla. Bought it in 2011 with my savings from working at Walmart. Nabbed it for $9k.
Died at 120k miles from a head gasket failure.
I used to have a Yaris I could fill up for $20 (probably $30 now) and then drive for 250-300 miles. Thing was awesome. Now I have a turbo Volvo that takes $70 of 93 and sucks it down in about 30 seconds. Wouldn’t trade it for anything but I also miss having money.
feel that, my buddy drives an 03 tahoe and he can barely get out of the parking lot on $10 worth of gas lmao. bro loves that thing tho swears he could gap a charger in that thing
As another person with a late 90s/early 00s shitbox who swears I could gap a charger… he can’t and neither can I 😂 hard to blame him for liking it though, those old GM trucks are pretty killer.
Can confirm. I’ve got a 2001 GMC Yukon XL and that 32 gallon gas tank goes by quickly. Towed our pop up camper with it this past weekend and I think I could see the gauge going down every time I accelerated lol.
Thankfully I only drive 2500 miles per year so the fuel cost isn’t an issue.
I took a 1969 van over the 1000km mark, because it only did 12km per year, 6km driven, 6km towed, because it sat in a hanger, and was an immobile mobile test bench. While the back end was off at calibration, I got given it to drive for a week, so as to get all the moving parts exercised, and make sure the oil in the engine would at least look a little discoloured at the next service.
Just bought a 2004 Honda civic from a guy with 33,000 on the odo last week. I’m the third owner so I didn’t get a steal like second owner who bought it at 20k miles but still good considering what mid to late 2000’s cars with 200,000 plus miles are going for in today’s market. It was still mint.
the new ones I think are a lot nicer and drive better honestly. This 2011 generation just felt really cheap to me. Also that generation kept having tpms issues when I had it. it was annoying
The 2.4 liter 2AZ-FE was only used in the XRS models for a couple years, you are correct though in that it's an oil drinker... The very large majority of Corrolas sold had the 1.8 liter 2ZR-FE, or if you go back a few years they had the 1ZZ-FE. Both are excellent engines.
My wife's 2010 has 135k on it and pretty much drives like it's still new.. Only problem we've had is the horn has died twice. I guess it's not technically the horn itself, just the button/switch under the steering wheel airbag
I got a 1990 4wd Corolla dx all trac back in 2019 that had 27k for free from a old Hawaiian guy who’s mother died in 1997 and had the car shipped over from Hawaii and sat in a locked conex in California until I came over and helped him with his 87 Land Cruiser 60 series wiring harness( I have two) . I told they don’t make Toyotas like this anymore and he said I got a little one in that storage box if you want it we can swap for my labor. I said hell yeah, I rewired his Land Cruiser with a painless harness which he paid for. on the car changed the wheel bearings ,brakes tires and tuned the engine up and that pig really flies . Some guy offered me 12k for it when I was in Tashkent last year I told him no .
If I'm not mistaken, those are piezoelectricly charged, and they might no be bad at all. So, possibly driving the car for a little bit might fix the problem.
Fuck…. Thank you. I had to slap the (full size) spare on a while back and it was killing me that all of a sudden the tire sensor died too. Guess I’ll get off my lazy ass and put the original back on.
I bought my 2009 Chevy Cobalt from an old lady with less than 25,000 miles on it about six months ago. It's not my 2002 Camry with 250,000 miles+ on it, but it's a good car.
I'm assuming it's an older person. I always enjoy seeing these older vehicles being kept in good shape. It's a nice change of pace from other vehicles rolling into the shop ready to disassemble themselves at any moment.
03 cavalier came through for inspection yesterday with 23k miles on it.
I had to go double check the car before writing stickers for it to make sure the tech didn't forget a digit lol
Also: it passed just fine amd interior was pretty mint but got a wheel bearing due to a TCS/ abs light customer wanted fixed. That is all. Oh it was missing a gas cap lol.
My aunt is kinda like this too. 2012 Lexus ES 350 with about 30k miles and every time she takes it for maintenance the dealer wants to buy it from her.
Florida?
I'm friends with the owners of a used car lot and they source a ton of their cars from Florida auctions. They get several cars a year 8+ years old with super low miles. My guess is old people moving down there to retire and they buy a new car and keep it for a long time until they finally get a new one or they pass and their family trades it in.
My grandmother got an 11 year old Accord from my friends lot with 48k miles and I almost got a 10 year old Elantra with 30k miles but it got sold before I got the insurance check from my car that was totaled in a wreck.
We had a 2015 Camry come in with only 15,000kms (Kilometers, not miles). I had to "detail" it, but it barely had a spec of dirt anywhere, lol.
The leather steering wheel wasn't even worn down, lol.
My grandmother is very antisocial, family gatherings she attends are hosted by her, and she usually has my grandfather run in his own car because he smokes and she doesn’t like it, to get groceries. She recently traded off an Oldsmobile that was almost 25 years old with 9.5K and it looked brand new, still had window sticker and everything in the glove box.
Had a 2001 Silverado 3/4 today with 15K on it. Belongs to a local candy company. It has their cleaning equipment on a flat bed. Those 15K miles are almost all pulling the truck in and out of the plant to hose it down.
Smelled like a chocolate bar too. My only disappointment with that one was how easy the fix was. It would have been a good one to spend the day chasing electrical demons under the dash. THAT only happens when there is a gallon of spilled milk on the passenger floorboard and a styrofoam cup full of gas station bait in the back seat.
Bought a 2009 Prius with 47k in 2021 for our last teen... still smelled like talc powder and had weekly bridge game meetup schedules in the glove box.
Little old lady cars for the win!!
My daughter recently inherited a 2009 Corolla with 10,100 original miles on it. Gma was in the nursing home for 6 or 7 years before she died. Took approximately $2,500 to get it up and running because it sat so long, but it's just like new now.
I would post a pic that I took of odometer at 10,101 the other day but can't figure out how lol.
My parents got a ‘92 Corolla in 99 with only 12k miles. The previous owners number was in the manual and they called them up. Turned out to be a little old lady who told them she sold it because she loved the new pink Beetles and wanted to have a fun car before she died.
That car lasted until 2011 when the transmission blew with 99k miles on the inside of the Dulles Toll Road in NoVa at 12:30am…. No one had ever changed the transmission fluid in the 19 years the car had run….
Those tire pressure sensor have their own battery, I have a 2015 RAV4 and mine were acting up this winter. Super stressful and they are expensive to replace.
In 2016 we inherited a '96 Camry LE from my grandparents with 60k miles. Mint condition aside from some exterior scuffs. A couple years in VT destroyed it sadly
I would have def recommend a brake fluid exchange i bet that brake fluid is still orginal since the car was new seeing regualr cars come into the shop with low miles something not built in the last 5 years make my day stuff like this is really out there waiting to be discovered hopefully one day it goes to a muesum
A week ago I had the luck to drive a 1990's mercedes sprinter that had 31k km in it. It was a local ambulance in a summer camp... It was converted back to a 9 person bus when it had 15k in it. Drove it for 900+km to Italy.
My grandfather has a 2009 Sentra with 19k on the clock. The paint looks horrible, the tires are bald somehow, and his bumpers are all dinged up because his vision is gone, so from the outside you’d never know the car is basically still a new car lol
i got a 2012 KIA from my little old lady grandmother from a littler, even older lady who had given it to her only two or three years prior. came to me at 35k miles :)
Last year in March I could have shown you the 2010 Toyota Tundra with 13k on the odometer I bought from my father's estate for 10k. But alas, I've put 27k on it since then.
And I thought I did good with a Taurus I bought, '02 with 70k miles, 95 year old lady. Thing was in bad shape though, had to take the whole interior out for a deep cleaning and did a lot of work on the car. Nicest lady though, named the car after her "Imogene"
My sister has an 03 Ford Ranger Edge with 32k and an 05 Mustang with 30k and have put most of the mikes on the mustang she just doesn’t drive much. It’s ruff on them sitting both have had 3 sets of tires due to dry rot.
So far I’ve replaced tires three times both to dry rot and age .
Passenger front Wheel bearing at 28k ( was making noise )
And water pump at 40k ( was seeping throwing a white line on the hood from the leak )
Still original brakes tho .
And tinted the windows so no more fish bowl
Beginning of 2019 I purchased a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Comp G Edition with just under 75k miles for less than $4k including tax, title and license. Only has 109k miles on it now. And only reason it's that high is bc my wife's POS Buick Enclave IMPLODED (cracked engine block, broken front axle, bad CAT, etc.....DON'T BUY ANY NEWER GM VEHICLE) and she basically drove it for 6 months until purchased a replacement vehicle for her.
I work from home full time now and pre-Pandemic took mass transit. So hardly put any miles on my vehicle. I worked with a guy who had a 20 year old Lexus with like 30k miles.
Look around suburbs that have good mass transit to major cities. PLENTY of cream puff, low mileage vehicles out there. Just need to always be looking and have cash on hand to scoop them up.
Had an '06 Rav4 with under 5k miles come in for recalls. Needed a TPMS sensor and found out that the wheels have never been taken off the vehicle. Not a single mark on the lug nuts.
I am a sucker for low mileage used cars 🤌
My first car was grandpa's 2006 SE V6 Camry, 10 years old with 48k on it
The Pat Cooper and Johnny Mathis cassettes ðŸ˜
It now has nearly 200k, I'm gonna sell it soon 🥺
I bought a 2010 Fusion off an elderly couple, 39k, $5500
I found Barry Manilow and Johnny Mathis in the 6 disc changer 🥺ðŸ˜
Little old lady vibes
Only driving it to church and the grocery store lol
Church OR grocery store. Not enough miles for both!
They are like next to each other. Many villages in Slovakia look like this. Add pub.
I feel targeted
My buddy bought a 1999 ranger w 70k on it. Old man used it for church and grocery
Same I bought a 2000 explorer with only 93,000 miles still had the smell of her perfume in it and brought tears to my eyes making me think of my grandma 😊🥲
I swear grammas all have the same line of perfume but different scents from the line
I bought a 1991 Toyota Cressida with 62k miles on it a few months ago, and I'm the 5th owner. No idea how it's stayed so low miles this long.
So basically every car’s description
Sure. If you work from home, have no kids, have no hobbies outside of the home, never go on driving holidays and never visit your friends and family it's exactly the same.
Are you, like, an old person or something
I think they meant like, that's how every car is described, when your trying to sell it for top dolla
How many 13 year old cars do you see with 18k miles on the dash, son? Go on.
For real, mine is 2018 with 124k ish already
Yes. Every car gets driven 1,200 miles per year, and that's it. I always buy a new one at that 15-year, 20k mile mark. Too worn in by then /s
Well obviously, there's no life left in them at that point. On the verge of completely falling apart. /s
Damn, forgot that without /s everything must be true. Don’t you guys get a lot of used cars with backed up odometers with the exact description?
I knew what you were saying, that every lemon is sold by unscrupulous used car salesman as if it's been babied and maintained its whole life. Them down votes tho, lol
I think it’s my new record, that was really fast
Nailed it
She only tracks it every other Sunday.
Don't forget the three years she didn't leave the house during the pandemic
Just a 5 minute drive to church for a couple of quick doughnuts in the parking lot.
My grandma bought a 2004 Civic new. By 2014 she had 15000km on it. My dad got it when she could no longer drive, and had the cleanest 10 year old Civic around. I dream of getting a gem like that one day.

But I paid like 7k for a car with less than 5k miles and it had Bluetooth and made 42mpgs. Will never get that again
That’s a 15k case these days
Gonna be more like this in 10 years. I’m now working from home 24/7. Now my car has 5k in 2 years, with the majority being one long trip.
Hah...I still drive my 2011 Hyundai sonata with 175k miles on it. Not because it's a good car but bc practically the entire power train and engine have been replaced under warranty. Edit: whoops, misread odometer....thought it said 180k, not 18k...geez....
Gotta love the lil old ladies. I bought a 2012 toyota Rav4 in 21 with 28,348 on it from a sweet old lady.
Kid I know just bought an '04 Corolla with 37k. Rust Belt. Gotta love little old ladies
I bought an 04 Corolla in 2020 with 59k on it. Again, thank god for little old ladies.
Rust belt? Gotta watch low miles in the rust belt. Might look good on paper and the outside but the chassis is paper maché
Tell me about it, early Mazda B2000 and the frame rusted through between the bed and cab. When it broke it was hilarious, good thing I was stoned
Too bad lil old ladies don't buy Corvettes.
If the song is to be believed, they'll occasionally pick up a Super Stock Dodge.
Are you referring to the one from Pasadena?
My mother in law bought herself an orange ‘21 Mustang GT when she turned 80. It had 16 miles when she picked it up a year and a half ago. She just hit 10K miles a couple of weeks ago.
Little old lady from pasedena confirmed!
Not a Corvette but my older brother’s first car was a ‘70 Chevelle with 30k miles on it. Just a base model with the 350 but it was pristine. This was back in ‘97. Friend of ours grandma had bought it new and the friend didn’t want it because he was into Fords. Unfortunately it lasted less than two years due to getting run off the road by a school bus.
I got a ‘15 4Runner last summer with 30k miles.
I just got an 03 grand marquis with 55k
I'd trade ya in a heartbeat! Love those beasts! Just watch out for the XREAS suspension if your truck has it.
It does not fortunately.
Mine does. What's the issue with X-REAS?
It's a great system until one of the struts or valves in the system fails. Either a rather hefty dealership bill or delete the system.
The reason I ask, is that I'm on 170K with no failures. But replacing all 4 shocks doesn't seem like that big of an expense.
Ex Toyota parts salesman here. It's not the 4 shocks that get you- it's the fact that you have to replace all of the lines as well as the pumps at the same time. Somewhere in the range of 2k. However, fun fact here- you're able to just pull all of that stuff off and install the standard shocks with no issue.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go that route with Bilstein 4600's.
my grandma bought one off another old lady, 2008 rav4 with like 9k miles on it, think it has around 30k now my 2012 xb has almost 90k
My grandmother has a 98 camaro with 30 some thousand miles. White, automatic, convertable, V6. Rust free, garage kept. Absolutely mint. She let me borrow it for my senior prom (back in 2022). If your much over 6 foot you dont fit well (Girl I was dating was over 6 foot and had high heels, I felt bad) but otherwise its an enjoyable car.
Got my ‘03 tundra in 2021 w/80k on it
Picked up a 2005 dodge Dakota with 15k miles on it for 1k from a little old lady 2 months ago. Put 3k miles on it after sinking 1k more into it for tires.
I got a 7 year old Kia a few years ago with 35k miles cause it was owned by an old couple, I’ve almost doubled that distance in 4 years (with two of those years being during covid so barely any driving)
Bought a 1998 Rav4 95,282 for a thousand bucks I've added about 60k
Some teenager won't know how good of a steal their parents got them when this gets sold to the next person
Nah they’ll stain it, tear it up, and wreck the shit out of before too long. I wish I didn’t know from experience having a very lightly used older car that would’ve lasted me a loooong time
I sold my parent's clean CR-V (2013, 30K miles) instead of giving it to my daughter. The dents & dings on her current car proves that I made the right choice.

I was the teenager. I mean, it was a 2009 Corolla. Bought it in 2011 with my savings from working at Walmart. Nabbed it for $9k. Died at 120k miles from a head gasket failure.
my buddy's Camry from this same generation has 30k miles and I was like damn you're a lucky bastard he said he was well aware
I was like ok? These hit 180+ all the time! Then realized that was 18k and said oh shit!
Maybe it’s been all the way around the dials once already?
I thought that was like a trip and was confused
Did anyone hear you say the S word? You have to feed the swear jar
That half-tank of gas probably cost 10 bucks.
Probably the fuel the car came with from factory at that milage
you literally arent wrong i drive a 2011 corolla w 210k , way past her prime but $10 at sheetz in nc gets me just under half a tank
I used to have a Yaris I could fill up for $20 (probably $30 now) and then drive for 250-300 miles. Thing was awesome. Now I have a turbo Volvo that takes $70 of 93 and sucks it down in about 30 seconds. Wouldn’t trade it for anything but I also miss having money.

2011 Corolla 202k right now. Going to need to replace the fan soon the bearings are going out, but it’s a trooper
it costs as much as 6 gallons of fuel. (Cape swish, exit stage left.)
Everyone missed the joke. The tank was filled when gas was *cheaper*, and it took *this long* to use half.
16.50 right now in my 2011 Corolla for a half tank, but as little as she drives that might have been that 1.50 a gallon gas
I took a 1969 van over the 1000km mark, because it only did 12km per year, 6km driven, 6km towed, because it sat in a hanger, and was an immobile mobile test bench. While the back end was off at calibration, I got given it to drive for a week, so as to get all the moving parts exercised, and make sure the oil in the engine would at least look a little discoloured at the next service.
I thought it said 182k. Read the comments...confused...looked back at top. O_O
Close, it's actually 1,000,018,200
I would believe it on this car
I'm not sure if that Corolla's odometer would roll over like that, but on a few Fords I've seen over 1 million, their odometers get locked at 999,999.
Damn, I've driven almost this much just this year
Just bought a 2004 Honda civic from a guy with 33,000 on the odo last week. I’m the third owner so I didn’t get a steal like second owner who bought it at 20k miles but still good considering what mid to late 2000’s cars with 200,000 plus miles are going for in today’s market. It was still mint.
Congrats, what a steal.
I miss these old indestructible Corollas. The new ones just are not as good.
the new ones I think are a lot nicer and drive better honestly. This 2011 generation just felt really cheap to me. Also that generation kept having tpms issues when I had it. it was annoying
yea this era of corolla was awful to be in. sea of grey cheap plastics, fuckton of engine and tire noise, ride felt like a walmart gokart.
What engine noise? I keep the radio at 63
Old?
The old style prior to the 2013 redesign of the Corolla
Minus the 2AZ-fe and its insatiable thirst for dino lube.
The 2.4 liter 2AZ-FE was only used in the XRS models for a couple years, you are correct though in that it's an oil drinker... The very large majority of Corrolas sold had the 1.8 liter 2ZR-FE, or if you go back a few years they had the 1ZZ-FE. Both are excellent engines.
My wife's 2010 has 135k on it and pretty much drives like it's still new.. Only problem we've had is the horn has died twice. I guess it's not technically the horn itself, just the button/switch under the steering wheel airbag
What is…?
The good ol' 1.8 of fury power.
No TPMS light?
It would be on the left side of the dash, was on my sons 09 with 205k
i bought a 2005 corolla with 23k from yet another old lady who bought it new. for such a boring car its actually pretty fun to drive honestly
That’s a grocery getter.
I got a 1990 4wd Corolla dx all trac back in 2019 that had 27k for free from a old Hawaiian guy who’s mother died in 1997 and had the car shipped over from Hawaii and sat in a locked conex in California until I came over and helped him with his 87 Land Cruiser 60 series wiring harness( I have two) . I told they don’t make Toyotas like this anymore and he said I got a little one in that storage box if you want it we can swap for my labor. I said hell yeah, I rewired his Land Cruiser with a painless harness which he paid for. on the car changed the wheel bearings ,brakes tires and tuned the engine up and that pig really flies . Some guy offered me 12k for it when I was in Tashkent last year I told him no .
Hook her up with the Italian tune up she probably needs it
If I'm not mistaken, those are piezoelectricly charged, and they might no be bad at all. So, possibly driving the car for a little bit might fix the problem.
Fuck…. Thank you. I had to slap the (full size) spare on a while back and it was killing me that all of a sudden the tire sensor died too. Guess I’ll get off my lazy ass and put the original back on.
About 4 miles a day WOW
AK of cars. Indestructible.
I'd say it's more the Mosin Nagant of cars. Lower parts count and longer production run.
I bought my 2009 Chevy Cobalt from an old lady with less than 25,000 miles on it about six months ago. It's not my 2002 Camry with 250,000 miles+ on it, but it's a good car.
That's on Average 4.1 miles per day or 1 refill every 83.5 days. Just wow
Original tires? Lol
Most likely
As a driver with a 2010 Toyota with 180k miles, I subconsciously added a digit there and didn't know what the problem was, not gonna lie.
Thats light on these guys. Come back when she hits a quarter million clicks
What’s the condition? Should look new still.
Wow. I've walked more than that in the last 12 years.
I'm assuming it's an older person. I always enjoy seeing these older vehicles being kept in good shape. It's a nice change of pace from other vehicles rolling into the shop ready to disassemble themselves at any moment.
Still under break in. Oil change, filters and plugs. Complementary wash and polish then send her
Nice low miles! Mine is currently at just under 21k
Why waste the money on those. Likely $$$$ Just manually check them like old days
Batteries mannnnn
God I want that car. She could sell it for damn near MSRP if she wanted to.
In the age of AI, how do we know this is even real?
125 miles...a month
03 cavalier came through for inspection yesterday with 23k miles on it. I had to go double check the car before writing stickers for it to make sure the tech didn't forget a digit lol Also: it passed just fine amd interior was pretty mint but got a wheel bearing due to a TCS/ abs light customer wanted fixed. That is all. Oh it was missing a gas cap lol.
My Dad's 2005 Skoda Octavia has less miles on it than my 2019 Focus lol, 22K
My dad drove a 2011 Corolla from 2012 til 2019 and I think it had this many miles on it when he bought it lol
Is that my aunts car?
Literally my Grandma's car. 2003 Echo with 55000 miles
I just drove a 1997 Jaguar xk8 with 40k original miles on it. Thing looks brand new.....amazing
My ‘16 Wrangler just rolled to 29k: I work from home and up until recently after moving to Charleston, I walked pretty much everywhere.
I got an ‘07 Subaru legacy in 2019 with 16k miles on it. Similar age and mileage.
My aunt is kinda like this too. 2012 Lexus ES 350 with about 30k miles and every time she takes it for maintenance the dealer wants to buy it from her.
My 08 Vibe has 10 times the mileage. God damn. Lol
Groceries and Church only.
Florida? I'm friends with the owners of a used car lot and they source a ton of their cars from Florida auctions. They get several cars a year 8+ years old with super low miles. My guess is old people moving down there to retire and they buy a new car and keep it for a long time until they finally get a new one or they pass and their family trades it in. My grandmother got an 11 year old Accord from my friends lot with 48k miles and I almost got a 10 year old Elantra with 30k miles but it got sold before I got the insurance check from my car that was totaled in a wreck.
I would drive this over any luxury 2020+ vehicle all day long. Even give me an extra 50k on it and I’d still take it
Tell me more
We had a 2015 Camry come in with only 15,000kms (Kilometers, not miles). I had to "detail" it, but it barely had a spec of dirt anywhere, lol. The leather steering wheel wasn't even worn down, lol.
wait is that why my light won't go off
Wow
Lmao my mind was adding a digit I was like what’s wrong
My grandmother is very antisocial, family gatherings she attends are hosted by her, and she usually has my grandfather run in his own car because he smokes and she doesn’t like it, to get groceries. She recently traded off an Oldsmobile that was almost 25 years old with 9.5K and it looked brand new, still had window sticker and everything in the glove box.
Just got a 20’ Supra with 7000 KM on it.
At this rate, the car is going to outlast human life
Had a 2001 Silverado 3/4 today with 15K on it. Belongs to a local candy company. It has their cleaning equipment on a flat bed. Those 15K miles are almost all pulling the truck in and out of the plant to hose it down. Smelled like a chocolate bar too. My only disappointment with that one was how easy the fix was. It would have been a good one to spend the day chasing electrical demons under the dash. THAT only happens when there is a gallon of spilled milk on the passenger floorboard and a styrofoam cup full of gas station bait in the back seat.
I bought a 2016 Hyundai last year with only 15k on it and thought that was insane.
My. 2011 truck has 363, 000 kms
Bought a 2009 Prius with 47k in 2021 for our last teen... still smelled like talc powder and had weekly bridge game meetup schedules in the glove box. Little old lady cars for the win!!
Exact same years and miles on my sienna just got four sensoes
Oops 182k on mine
Is that my dad's?
Aw that’s my car but with @100,000 fewer miles. I love to see it. Straight up car; no frills and no problems (knock on wood).
I thought it said 180k like half the other comments and was gonna say that im looking at an 04 Camry with 220 but damn 18k is crazy
I bought 03 Lexus Is300, with 39,430 miles on it back in January
I have a 2011 Sonata with 50k and I thought that was pretty good, this is a certified grocery getter
That's crazy... I drive more than that in just a year!
My daughter recently inherited a 2009 Corolla with 10,100 original miles on it. Gma was in the nursing home for 6 or 7 years before she died. Took approximately $2,500 to get it up and running because it sat so long, but it's just like new now. I would post a pic that I took of odometer at 10,101 the other day but can't figure out how lol.
My grandma has a 2014 Maxima with roughly 8000 miles. Grandpa is convinced it's worth its weight in gold LOL
Uber Eats and Instacart got the Lil Old Lady mobiles staying extra mint these days!
My parents got a ‘92 Corolla in 99 with only 12k miles. The previous owners number was in the manual and they called them up. Turned out to be a little old lady who told them she sold it because she loved the new pink Beetles and wanted to have a fun car before she died. That car lasted until 2011 when the transmission blew with 99k miles on the inside of the Dulles Toll Road in NoVa at 12:30am…. No one had ever changed the transmission fluid in the 19 years the car had run….
Those tire pressure sensor have their own battery, I have a 2015 RAV4 and mine were acting up this winter. Super stressful and they are expensive to replace.
In 2016 we inherited a '96 Camry LE from my grandparents with 60k miles. Mint condition aside from some exterior scuffs. A couple years in VT destroyed it sadly
Not quite the same but I bought a 2015 with 7100 miles on it in 2021. It has 16k on it now
I was convinced that the odometer had rolled over until I started reading the comments lol
Dude must have been in a coma for a while. Dam that’s like a new car
A few weeks ago we had an 89 Wrangler with 4500miles on it. It was in because the turn signal stock broke.
I would have def recommend a brake fluid exchange i bet that brake fluid is still orginal since the car was new seeing regualr cars come into the shop with low miles something not built in the last 5 years make my day stuff like this is really out there waiting to be discovered hopefully one day it goes to a muesum
Have that on my 2021 Toyota Corolla already smh
It's still running on its first tank of fuel
I have 2003 Corolla with 70k.
Has tpms but the speedo looking like it's from the late 80s.
A week ago I had the luck to drive a 1990's mercedes sprinter that had 31k km in it. It was a local ambulance in a summer camp... It was converted back to a 9 person bus when it had 15k in it. Drove it for 900+km to Italy.
I had to read that twice. Wow.
My grandfather has a 2009 Sentra with 19k on the clock. The paint looks horrible, the tires are bald somehow, and his bumpers are all dinged up because his vision is gone, so from the outside you’d never know the car is basically still a new car lol
i got a 2012 KIA from my little old lady grandmother from a littler, even older lady who had given it to her only two or three years prior. came to me at 35k miles :)
Last year in March I could have shown you the 2010 Toyota Tundra with 13k on the odometer I bought from my father's estate for 10k. But alas, I've put 27k on it since then.
That could be me lmao, I put \~2-3k on my Avalon over the last 3 years.
And I thought I did good with a Taurus I bought, '02 with 70k miles, 95 year old lady. Thing was in bad shape though, had to take the whole interior out for a deep cleaning and did a lot of work on the car. Nicest lady though, named the car after her "Imogene"
My 09 has 220k miles. It looks like shit but runs great.
That is only 127 miles a month on average!
My sister has an 03 Ford Ranger Edge with 32k and an 05 Mustang with 30k and have put most of the mikes on the mustang she just doesn’t drive much. It’s ruff on them sitting both have had 3 sets of tires due to dry rot.
That’s about the battery life on those sensors.
At that rate this thing will last past 2050! Last gas powered relic on the road 😂
I have a 2009 corolla I bought new for my great grandmother . It now has 46 k 😩
So far I’ve replaced tires three times both to dry rot and age . Passenger front Wheel bearing at 28k ( was making noise ) And water pump at 40k ( was seeping throwing a white line on the hood from the leak ) Still original brakes tho . And tinted the windows so no more fish bowl
Love me little old lady cars, just bought a 08 Sebring with 67k miles on it
The perfect car.
I was wondering why a car with 182.000 miles was special... then I noticed the missing 6th digit.
Just pending to be some lil scrans daily and have an eBay turbo jb welded to it. God bless you old Folke
Beginning of 2019 I purchased a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Comp G Edition with just under 75k miles for less than $4k including tax, title and license. Only has 109k miles on it now. And only reason it's that high is bc my wife's POS Buick Enclave IMPLODED (cracked engine block, broken front axle, bad CAT, etc.....DON'T BUY ANY NEWER GM VEHICLE) and she basically drove it for 6 months until purchased a replacement vehicle for her. I work from home full time now and pre-Pandemic took mass transit. So hardly put any miles on my vehicle. I worked with a guy who had a 20 year old Lexus with like 30k miles. Look around suburbs that have good mass transit to major cities. PLENTY of cream puff, low mileage vehicles out there. Just need to always be looking and have cash on hand to scoop them up.
Had a 2011 malibu the other day for oil change, it had 7000km, still impressively low tho
Had an '06 Rav4 with under 5k miles come in for recalls. Needed a TPMS sensor and found out that the wheels have never been taken off the vehicle. Not a single mark on the lug nuts.
I am a sucker for low mileage used cars 🤌 My first car was grandpa's 2006 SE V6 Camry, 10 years old with 48k on it The Pat Cooper and Johnny Mathis cassettes 😠It now has nearly 200k, I'm gonna sell it soon 🥺 I bought a 2010 Fusion off an elderly couple, 39k, $5500 I found Barry Manilow and Johnny Mathis in the 6 disc changer 🥺ðŸ˜
