85000 km, bought it with 69000 on it 14 months ago. Quite a bit of mileage given we've never commuted in it. 2001 180

Not with the money ill be spending. Plus with the v6 those sort of options are rather limited even with deeper pockets.
I'm not knocking my zs and certainly never will as its one of the best cars ive owned handling and performance wise and probably the best overal package in one but I've been hankering for a big power turbo for a while now and I may have found the right one now.

Anyway, back on to the thread there are some very high milers, there was a V6 on here knocking the 220k region iirc before it was crashed so they do get used and certainly can hit high miles..

Haha, I haven't thought properly about selling mine, the car I want is within price range so may not have to sell the zs but just take it off the road for a while. I get these little "bees in my bonnet" phases where I "really need" the turbos or something else and I always end up going back to the zs because its such a great all rounder. It may just end up covered up on the drive for a year if I do get the other car but then I may sell if I can get decent money for it.
All depends but I think this is all really due in another thread rather than in here.
