Garage queen here but not saving it, I just enjoy it more driving with the top down and the temperature is 60-80. Bought as a retirement gift to myself, posted last in Jan 14 stating it had 9300 miles, it must have been 8300 instead. Has 8800 miles on it now. Totally stock, may sell it in a year or so, still enjoy shifting gears.

 

It feels great! Bought at 90k so it was never going to be a garage queen. Why save it for the next guy? I've put on over 10k miles in a year, and only about half of those are commuting miles - the rest are from fun back road drives.

 

I only drive my car in nice weather over the spring, summer and sometimes the fall.
I got this as my "toy" and I have zero shame in having a low mile car.
One day the miles will be high but not today.

 

Mine is my daily as I would rather drive a car I enjoy each trip rather than leave it at home and drive something dull.

Look at it the other way, all those days where your in your boring daily driver. How many times have you thought you wished you were in your S2k

My 2004 I did 23k in 15 months. My current 2008 my mileage has dropped a bit and I've only done 3k in 3 months so far but I'm going for a drive today as I fancy it.

Why are you trying to keep the miles low? What's you ultimate goal from owning it?

 

My -00 had 40k when I bought it over ten years ago. Now its at 55k or something i think.

Short summers and a couple of them were ruined by animal collision and a differential failure which didnt help me racking up miles.
I wouldnt really feel bad about racking them up but my S is purely a toy and it sees most usage on weekends to, from and at track meets.

 

If yours is in good shape with a healthy engine/drivetrain, you're not missing out. My 02' with 150k on it drove just as well as my other 3 S' with 40-60k. Enjoy

 

Im on my third S and have driven over 300k total ....my current S has 80k , bought it with 55k in May 2014 . I have an addiction to S2k ....so ya I drive the wheels off it every chance I get

 

Bought my 01 with just under 40k on the clock in May of 2012. I drive it daily and it's just a hair under 85k today. Cars were made to be driven.

 

I totally agree. I bet most people like me who put low miles on their S2K, and keep them garaged, are just really busy with jobs and other responsibilities.

 

The opposite, actually. I find sitting in S2k, in city traffic, when it's freezing and dreary outside pretty miserable. At times like that, I find myself wishing I was in my IS 350 with heated seats, smooth quiet ride, auto trans, listening to my favorite tunes streaming through the Pandora interface.

On the other hand, IF my daily driver was a POS, then maybe I'd miss the S2K no matter the driving conditions.
