Hey guys, well the vr4 has just ticked over 143000Kms, and i was wonderin whether or not to trade it soon or keep it longer?? See, i travel about 100kms+ a day so im racking up some fairly decent numbers on her and was just thinkn if its better to sell it now while the kms are still ok-ish? any thoughts??

Cheers

they aren't worth anything anyway, so you might as well keep hold of it and drive it until expensive things start going. Some of the guys in England have done over 250,000km in them and haven't had any problems, and I've seen a few on trademe that have done over that, one at 300,000km!

Like all cars, best time is to sell them with under 100k on the clock, prefably about 90 -95k is the best time, when you can really get the most money for them.
After this you just run them into the ground.
You should get many years of motoring out of your car if you reguarly service it.
