5k on mine. Two weeks into ownership I noticed a gash on the bumper looks like somebody rammed it with a shopping cart. Since then it's had more scratches including a bicycle handle scratching the door. And then my other car with 30k somebody dinged/dented the door in a parking lot. This kind of damage never happened to any of the my older cars even with years of use. It's like people are attracted to new cars and destroy the paint.4.5K
So far, 1 rear-end collision and a separate repaint / dent removal due to auto-shippers banging it up. Off to a good start...
New cars are collision bait for uninsured, unlicensed motorists![]()
12000 - When I hit 17000 miles, it will be the most driven car I've ever owned (I've never kept a car longer than 11,000 miles.)
