(Home) Milage ... New owner

Hello there, as you may be aware i've just purchased a townace 1989 G'reg it has done 159,000 miles and it's a desiel. Can anyone tell me is this milage high for a townace? How many miles am i likely to get out of her, before she retires to the scrap heap, any ideas?

As you can tell i fell in love with the townie because of the way she looks (a bit wacky), rather than what's underneath the bonnet.

I am interested to find out how many miles you have all done in your Townies... fingers crossed your milage is a lot higher than mine...

Please post me all your reply's and i will look forward to hearing from you all...

Good luck all with many more miles to enjoy!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hello Sherrie,

Are you sure the figure you quoted is miles and not Kilometres. Although the speedometer faces have been changed to show mph, the odometers normally still read distances in kilometres.

Try driving a distance you know and seeing if the odometer shows an extra 60%, ie if you know the distance is 10miles, does the distance show 16, if so then it's reading kilometres.

I'm not sure whether my "tres" or "ters" are correct, sorry
