Lowest Mileage Ralliart
So I know there are threads for the highest mileage Ralliart, but I want to see who has the lowest mileage Ralliart. Let's see whose car is the closest to being back in the showroom.
I know mine isn't the lowest but here are my stats.
2004 Phoenix Red RA. Just rolled 60k this week. Still runs as tight as the day I bought it in 06 with 18,500 on the clock.

My 04 Sportback RA is at about 65k miles. It would've been less if I hadn't had to sell my wife's Odyssey and give her the Lancer; she puts more miles on the cars than I do. Plus, she hits things with it.
I have a rear bumper in the garage, and splitter is held on with duct tape (lucky that it's a silver car). I hope to have some money for bodywork soon, but that'll come after brakes, tires, catalytic converter, alignment, and maybe struts.

Well if u had started this thread in March of 2010, i coulda thrown mine in t 40,000 miles.....but i drive 100 miles a day to work and now...well...100,950
That said, The only non wear and tear part ive had to do is that cheap *** fan controller, t-belt kit, and an oil switch if that counts. Other than that, Ive bought 2 tires, and one set of rear brake pads. the fronts will be soon. No clutch yet, no signs of needing it although with the hydraulic setup it probably will just rear its ugly expensive head one day without a whole lot of warning.

when i bought the car i got angry kuzz all brakes were almost griding...so i took it back to the dealer then they had the nerve to tell me "we just spent $600 in parts and labor to make u happy" after they replaced all pads and rotors....3 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR....not to mention the guy said they replaced 1 wheel, a bunch of bulbs, 1 tire, and some other stuff before they sold it to me....(EVEN THO THEY DIDNT....)
i had to get 1 tire about a week after i bought the car, 4 tires about 6 months after(kept the one from before as a spare in my storage unit), plus 4 struts about 6 months after that(i was tired of bouncing around), then the tbelt stuff(belts, pulleys, tensioner)plus water pump and tstat w/ cooling system flush, bled brakes, about 6 months ago i had to un-seize one of the rear brake caliper slides and oil pressure switch, and the fan module(about 3 months after i bought it tho)...and i think thats all ive done to it..lol

her: "WTF....didnt u just do one a couple months ago..?...cant u get a cheaper filter?...can u change my oil first?...better not find something ELSE you need to fix...why do you need to change the oil?, i bet its not even dirty...are you sure thats the cheapest oil filter you can get..?...im sure ebay has great deals on boxes of oil filters, we already spent a ton of money on your car...we havent done anything to my car...etc etc"

RA bought new in April '06 now has 40,600 km (25,000 miles).
I use the rusty Impreza or VW diesel in winter from December to April, wouldn't get any $ anyway if I sold them. Amazing how cheaply plated fasteners stay shiny and rubber bushings don't squeak when kept away from salty environs.
