That car makes my 08 with 5,100 miles seem like it has high mileage.

This car makes me feel awful for pulling the cover off my 2002 this season. I now have just under 24k miles on the odo this year after buying it with 12k 4 years ago. Must.....stop....driving.....it.....

Cars are going to lose their value no matter what. Might as well enjoy them while you have it IMO. Never understood while people loved to just keep them in the garage. Unless it is a collectible car that will appreciate over time but don't see that being the case with these at all.

that makes absolutely no sense...you should sell it to someone who will actually enjoy the car...its meant to be driven

Agree. I bought my AP2 with 39k on it less than a year ago and it's currently sitting at 62,900ish. I drive it, A LOT and Love every minute. Honestly I would never imagine not putting as many miles as possible on the car, There's proof they'll go well beyond 200k.

Yup. I'd feel like I was wasting it if storing it scared of putting miles on it.
Bought mine almost 5 years ago with 65k on it. Now at 167k miles! Drive it every chance I get!

bought mine around the 60k mark and its right at 97k almost 98k...i put maybe 6,000 miles on it a year, but it is my daily driver and it does get driven everyday...lets face it, its not a collectors car or high end exoctic, so i dont see the point of trying to keep miles off it...spending 12,000+ dollars on a car youre just going to hide in a garagemakes absolutely no sense to me at all

I think its border line exotic, I would call it an exotic 4 cylinder. If ferrari built a 4 cylinder roadster I feel like it would be set-up similar to this, also if you had two f20c running on the same crank shaft, a v8 F20c I can guaranteed it would be considered exotic
