Default Lowest Miles Seen On Someones Primary Driver

Daggon old folks man

this "very" retired lady is trading in a 1998 Caddy Sedan Deville with 10k miles on it Friggin nuts! I work at a dealership and this is the lowest mileage I've seen on a car this age.

Since I just had to bring this up, what are some of the rediculous low miles you've seen on "aged" cars

We have a customer in now with a 03 E320 with 9k on it.

lowest I've seen was my grandma's 1993 Cadillac, the thing only had 12k miles (but enough damage that it looked like it had 212k) on it when we sold it a year ago. She only drove it within a 5 mile radius of her house.

When I worked at a dealership a couple years ago, I took in a 1994 Lexus SC400 w/ only 12,000mi and this car didn't even have a dent, scratch, or flaw.

But the best was a 1991 Mazda Miata, no dents, immaculate condition, even the interior looked new, w/ a hardtop with only 9K!

Took in both trades, sold both cars!!!

I figure Ferrari's would have lower mileage than most of the examples here but since they're not primary drivers....

How many mailboxes did you have to repair/replace?

When I was selling cars around 2001, we had a trade-in 84 Caddy with 14k miles on it. I'm sure somebody in the hood bought it and destroyed it by now.

My great grandma had a 1964 Ford Falcon that usually only went to the grocery store and church which was 1.8 miles round trip every week. When my aunt borrowed the car in 1992 to drive it until she found another car it had about 6800 miles. Being poor and irresponsible she drove it into the ground and it ended up in the junk yard about 14 months later. The car was in my grandmother's will as being left to me and i'll never forgive my aunt for that one. I know it's not terriby collectible but i'd still have that car today.
