How many miles do you do, and how many owners has your car had.

[macfly]

This new thread is to get a sense of the history and uses of the cars here today, starting in April 2019.

[Musta10000]

I purchased the car in April of 2005 with 28,500 miles on the odometer and now I am right at 105,000 miles. Drove the car as a daily driver for several years at some point of ownership when I liver in a milder climate, but now it is driven much less so I am unlikely to accumulate mileage at the same pace as in the past.

I used to put 12,000/year, but I now put 500/ year. I have 55,000 miles.

I too have reduced the annual miles i put on the car from earlier. Andrew is there a way for me to change the miles i put on the car? I voted many years ago, when i was putting more miles. Sandy

[///M Blitz]

I have tried to stick with my original plan of putting between 500 and 1,000 miles on the car annually, but have been closer to the lower number. Just over 10K miles now.

[redz8]

Averaged about 600 miles per year.

Own 3 Z8'.
1. Stratus grey/red interior less then 5000 miles. One owner car. Drive around 100 to 150 a year.
2. Black Alpina/tan interior 1500 to 2000 miles a year. Two owners,2nd owner owned the car from 2004 till I purchased it. Miles on it in the high 20,000. Purchased it to drive.
3.Topaz/black interior. 1500 to 2000+ miles a year. Two owners, 2nd owner purchased the car in 2008 till I purchased it. Miles on it low 20000 when acquired the cat in September 2018. Came with the a great exhaust system. Bought the car to create a Z8 done properly. Koala LSD 357 reared, Alpina euro suspension,BMW competition kit front strut towers (have put this on the other 2 Z8's also) sway bars, the pilot tires and engine work around 440 horsepower.Blast to drive here in Naples. Will be going to a better clutch and lighten flywheel when the car is shipped back to Cleveland. By the way this is my every driver here in Naples. Perhaps I few laps at Mid Ohio or Nelson Ledges (think its been repaved?) are in order.

Note you noticed I looked for original owners or long term 2nd owners.

Sandy, this is a new poll, so you can vote here anew

Pendrod, did you get Paul Allen's Stratus/Red that was for sale in Seattle a while back? If so bravo, that's a gem I'd love to have got.

[Greensand121]

OK thanks. I have an 2001 with 5700 miles. I now put slightly less than 250 miles a year. Sandy

I bought it new in 2001 and it now has about 48,000 miles on the odometer. It is a Silver/Black Euro with red and orange tail lights. I store it in a heated garage during Michigan Winters. REG Z8 01

Miles—I thought I would do more but as the first season with the car closes, only did less than 1000 miles. Am the third owner. First owner in CA did 10,000, second owner 7000.

I'm owner number 3 - first owner did 48,500 over 17 years, second owner did 1,500 over a year, and I've done a couple hundred over the past four months that I've owned the car. It will end up a couple thousand mile a year car for me after the euro alpina suspension is installed.

[Gwmckee]

I’m the second owner. Got the car in February with 34k miles and change. I’ll likely add 1,500 miles a year going forward. Have to restrain myself though... the gravitational pull of the driver’s seat is strong

[RRZ8]

Second owner, driving about 1200 miles a year, enjoying every single one of them

[Satch]

Nancy Drew passed 135,000 on the way home from South Carolina....

[Musta10000]

Fantastic!!! Running 29K miles behind you Satch. Doubt I’ll ever catch you with Iowa winters. BTW, do you know if Bridgestone makes Blizzaks in our size?

[MikeT]

I am second owner. Bought 2016 from Winslow BMW in Colorado Springs with 11,298 miles. They also sold the car to the original owner. Currently 12,625 miles. Came with original tires (run flats) and wheels (has chrome wheels now and new tires).
Car stays in Indian Wells, CA except in fall I bring it to Pebble Beach.

[ZedMan]

Only owner. Purchased in Munich in July of 2000.
14,200 miles to date and ~500 miles a year recently.

[macfly]

Wowza, that's fantastic, a one owner car with so few miles is a true unicorn, please post some shots of it, that's a special story indeed!

[Allan Elliott]

I live in Kelowna BC. I am the third owner. I imported the car in 2007 from Newport Beach. It has 43,000 miles on it. There are at least two other Z8’s in Kelowna (population 150,000 Andrew thank you for looking after this club! Allan

[Defries]

Satch, I purchased my car with 68K miles (1 previous owner) in November 2019. It’s great to see another “driver” out there versus all the garage queens. She’s getting the rejuvenation program at EAG as we speak. I’ll never sell.....just enjoy the heck out of it!!
