Ownership duration?

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Bought the truck in 2002 with 93,000 on it, now at 154,000 something.

I can thank the Maxima for that, because as soon as I bought it the truck started sitting a lot more. I've put 98,500 miles on the Maxima in just over 5 years...bought it with exactly 86,000 miles on it, and its at about 184,500 now. Still running like a champ :)

I had my Bonneville for about 5 years, i put maybe 15,000 on it.

The Grand Am on the other hand, I've had it for about 6 months and I've put about 5000 on it. A lot more miles on the GA then the Bonne.
