6 figures!

4 years later after picking her up with 23 miles, I've hit 100,000 miles!

She's in excellent shape in regards to all aspects: engine, suspension and body. Had her checked out by my mechanic to see what was worn out. Surprisingly only one control arm has a very small amount of play, driver's front forward lower. That's it. Everything else is in excellent shape: CV boots, ball joints, tie rods, remaining control arms, engine, etc. He says the car looks like it's got 50k miles on it and certainly doesn't ride/drive like it has 100k either! He's seen a lot worse on 100k mile cars that look like they've got 200k miles.

That's quite a few miles for only 4 years of ownership, I assume you have a long highway commute? Also off topic but to you have any pictures of your car with the USP front on it?

Nope, original cluster. I haven't read many B6 clusters with dying pixels, mostly B5s and C5s IIRC.

Nice!

I average 25-30k/year depending on where I drive to besides work. About 60 miles/day commute then I've been all around the East coast:

Washington D.C. (farthest South I've traveled)
NYC, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire & Maine too many times to count
Pennsylvania
Vermont
Niagara Falls
Toronto

Pretty much anywhere close to Boston I'll drive. Looking to go to Montreal sometime this year as well and will be driving.

Next year my commute will be about 100 miles/day as my office is moving.

I have some pics of the USP front from when I picked it up at the bodyshop. Send me an email and I'll reply with them.

Yup, that's the reaction I get from most people when I tell them it's got 100k on it when everyone thinks it's brand new.

[G Men 08]

^^ speaking of the new part... i get that alot too, especially when i first got it, "hey man thats a nice car, what year 07? 08?" im like i wish i had the bank roll.. nope shes an 03 with 45k on it

[Exanimas]

lol, im pretty sure that everybody has a radio station called kiss

Yea but around this area 107.9 is kiss, and they commonly play stuff by Justin Timberlake and the likes.

Anyways, congrats man, I just hit 27K on my 05 right before I got hit.

Yup, that's the reaction I get from most people when I tell them it's got 100k on it when everyone thinks it's brand new.

I also get the same reaction on my car. '04 USP w/ 135k miles. Looks and feels no worse than when I bought it back in early 2005 (CPO buy). Actually, it looks and feels better with all of the mods added on.

Congrats on hitting 100k! I've found that by staying on top of maintenance and following a cleaning routine, it's easy to keep it looking great.

[ggar015]

thats awesome! just hit 100k too last week. :)
