Bought my 07 in July of that year almost to 39k miles. I used to drive a lot more before coming out to college, but since I've moved to college I fill up on gas once a month (at about 20mpg, thats how much driving I do). Prior to this past year I was averaging 12k/year

Bought my 08 in May of the same year. I now have 25.8k miles on it. Supercharged with a Saleen supershaker, done a lot of work on it actually to make it my own unique car. My work commute is 25 miles each way when I bring it to work. Not for that, I would probably have less miles.
Do not get it wrong, I drive it. Hell I take it to the track. But when gas is high (lol I need premium) the Ford Ranger gets the job done

I bought my GT new in April of 08, it now has 25.8K on it. It is my DD, but for 6 mos of the year I only drive to work twice a month so that really keep the miles down. I do drive it in OH snow, unless it is really deep, then I wait until the roads get cleared.

I have an 05 which I bought new in February of 05. It had 18 miles on it. I now have a little over 104,000 miles on it. It's my daily driver that I drive 90 miles round trip 4 days a week. I guess that averages about 20,000 per year. As for necessary repairs, I had to change the rear brakes. I'm due for my third set of tires. It's got a few door dings in it, thanks to my wife. Other than that, there's no problems with it. I programmed it and put a C&L Racer intake, a B&M shifter (not my choice, but it was free) and eibach springs. I also put the 3d carbon grille on it.

Bought my 07 GT last October. She had 29k when I bought her and I now have about 33k on her. Only drive her on nice days and do not driver her in the winter.

Bought 2005 GT in Jan 2005 she's got 102k on her. The miles per year have gone down drastically since I got out of college. I had 70k on it in June 2008. Made alot of trips home from college in it. Obviously I don't drive in the snow much, but we've had some snow and ice around Dallas these past few years and she does really well in it, which was a surprise. Just got married and the wife has a AWD Highlander, so the stang won't do winter driving anymore.
6 years old from production, 54,000 miles on the odo. Had 37,000 on it when I bought it almost two years ago. Installed the blower almost a year and a half ago.
I take the metro to work here in DC because 1) I'm subsidized, 2) my car is tuned for 93 and don't want to pay that much for gas when I'm taking the metro for free, 3) and I don't want to overdue the miles.
However, I drive to work on average once a week just because (usually on a Friday). I hit the track or strip once every couple months (a drive it to the track, no trailoring, hehe). I go on spirited drives out in PA, western VA or WV every weekend that I get a chance...plus I road trip in with the wife. Oh, and it's also my grocery getter when it's my turn to do the shopping.
But I can't really drive mine when the temps are 25 degrees and below. It's all good, because traction is also an issue for me when it gets a little colder

Had this thing since 7/06. Traded in a 2001 Lightning for it. Not sure if I did the right thing still. Like it but the Lightning was f-n awesome, and fast. Stang has 34K on it. I try not to drive it a lot 'cause I don't want to make it old too quick. I'm an old guy and I can't keep buying new cars. This one will have to hang around for a while. It's got a Brenspeed tune running 87 because of premium prices, 4.10 gears, Spohn and UMI upper/lower arms and UMI relo brackets, no cai, just opened up the box a little and put in KN filter, Hurst shifter which doesn't vibrate or give me any grief. So there. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just bought a 2005 v6 premium convertible. Has 95000mi. Dealer put on new rear brakes/rotors, a new drivers side E.B. cable and new lower ball joints. I am going to have the auto tranny serviced and a coolant flush done.
Very true for cost of ownership. MPG is very good, not that I care to keep it down much. My clutch is still fine after 115000 miles, the original tires lasted 75000 miles, as did the brakes.
