2450

However, the car has been out of commission and in the shop for three weeks and just sitting for one week since I bought it, back in July.

Otherwise, I'd probably have too many more.

Passed 2,000 mile today after 3 weeks. It's easy to see I will pass the waranty period in less than a year at this rate.

To answer the question above: The engine runs better and better all the time. I especially notice how the shifter has loosened up.

.
At that rate (667/week) you'll last almost 1.5 years under warranty.


Me? 1500 after 3.5 weeks and I am only driving it on weekends and to work 1-2 times a week.
