Car has gone from 5 to 6 figures...

[Singh]

I remember when mine hit 40k and I was a little disheartened, 50k next, now I've got the Punto the 50k will come a lot less sooner - which was sort of the point.

[ainarssems]

Jeez.. I never had a car with less then 6 figures. If if think about it never had any with more then 6 either

[Mutley]

When i was looking for my 8, there was a D3 on ebay that had done 380K miles, it was in as good condition as it came out the factory, had a full Audi service history and not an independent.

To put that into perspective - its further than the moon

I'm not too concerned now at being on a 102K

[gninnam]

It is just the thought of that extra number - when I bought it nearly 5 years ago it had 55K on the clock and the 100K seems to have crept up suddenly (it is my daily driver also)

Similarly, mines gone from about 50K when I got it to 125K now.

Mind you, the Focus is also over 100K.

Modern engines will go on almost forever if regularly serviced and not thrashed

[notorious]

100000 is nothing for these engines if serviced properly

what do you mean not thrashed? Isn't that what the rev limiter is for?

I'm about to hit 200k in the next week or 2. Regulary thrashed because i never thought it would last this long an i didn't want it to go wrong before i'd had some fun in it.

I've either been lucky or the A8 is very much more reliable than everyone expects.
