Was just browsing on Carsales and noticed a few fairly high mileage ZBs, for example:
- Diesel wagon with 235,000 kms asking $20,888 (!)
- ZB RS V6 with 183,000 kms asking $23, 995 (!)
- VXR with 173,000 kms asking $31,101 (!)
Admittedly these are fairly high prices and I can't see too many people wanting to pay them, but it got me to thinking about how long I should hang onto mine? Presumably these guys didn't have any major mart failures, eg. engines or transmissions, or difficulty accessing required smaller parts for repairs. So Ï'm starting to think that 150,000 kms is not unreasonable to aim for? If it lasted that long and then went to Simsmetal it'd only be 22 cents per km for the depreciation side of things...
Wondering if anyone here has a high mileage example that has done well, or badly for them?
