High Milage

At what point does everyone start to consider their Aston "High Milage"?

High mileage is obviously just a couple miles more than what mine has.

You don’t need to go by total mileage on the car. Go by miles driven and age of car. A 2010 car with 60000 miles is 4600 miles a year. So is 4600 miles a year to much. Remember not driving the car is also bad.

Residuals of exotic automobiles of any make are very mileage dependent.

I just purchased a 2011 Rapide with 78K miles and plan to drive it at least 10K a year. The key is keeping it in good shape and the challenge is to find ways to circumvent the Aston tax on parts. I can do most of the labor so that’s no issue. When I’m ready to replace it, it will be on the mid 100K miles. And it still will look gorgeous.

I think age vs mileage, as well as maintenance, is more relevant. Can understand the aftermarket odometer fixation
but as the original owner of a ‘14 4.7 manual roadster with 48K, I have no regrets. Say I had half the mileage over these past 9 years...what is that, maybe $15-20K more on BAT? I’ll choose driving more any day.

I think it is a badge of honor to have high mileage on a car like an Aston. Only a privileged few get to spend so many hours and miles driving an Aston. The guy who put 100K on his Aston is cooler than the garage queen owner with 4K on his for same ownership term.

When they lower you into the grave nobody says "I should have drove it less."

Just passed 53,333. I'm getting there slowly, I just don't drive that much.

You needed a 100,000+ option
