how much does an average person drive per year?
I have a 2003 rs which was purchased back in may 2003. i have driven it for 9071 miles and im getting ready for the 10k checkup at redwood city. My buddy said the average person drives 12k miles a year.
post your miles and date of purchase

 

i put 4300 since 7/6/03, but i also drive beater car so i dont put alot of miles on it

 

6000 since 9-22-03

 

7000 since 7-28-03

 

~12k is the general consensus among insurance agencies, etc. Personally, I drove about 17,000 my first year. .....but I always tend to drive a few thousand more my first year.

9-7-02 - Now have 25k on it.

 

20k in 7 months
majority of it is backroad twisties

 

3-25-02, just turned over 90k miles.

 

30500 since 5-31-01

 

20.4 K since I bought the car in January, on Superbowl Sunday. During the last twenty years, I have averaged 20-26K miles per year.

 

I usually tend to drive 30K a year. I need to buy a beater but it wouldnt be fun to drive. Also does anyone tell their ins company the actual mileage they drive annualy??

 

thanks everyone for your input.
after reading everyones post reply, i have another question:

Why do the insureance company ask for people for their mileage per year?

 

40k in a year and a half

 

5500 miles in exactly 2 months.
Purchased Sept. 19th

 

insurance companies ask you for your milage because part of your rate is based off of the amount of driving you do per year. your rate is based on a ton of factors from what your previous driving record, milage per year, type of car and so on.
