Annual mileage

I've just been sent a leaflet aimed at "tempting" me to buy/lease a brand new Peugeot. I glanced at it before consigning it to the re-cycling bag and was surprised, not at the price, but at the annual mileage-6667! Other deals were even less, at 6000!
Is this typical mileage?

    No. I believe the average mileage is 10-12k.

    It's an offer that might tempt city based owners who don't travel far afield but for the general run of drivers it is too small an allowance.

    It's typical mileage to make a lease price look tempting. Audi were running one which made a new A6 look very cheap. Smallprint had a mileage limit of just 3,000 miles.

    Average is around the 10,000 mark.

    Although my mother's brand new Kia Picanto only did 1400 miles in her first year of owning it! :)

    My MiL did 18,000 miles in 15 years in her 1986 Nissan Sunny.

    Mind you, she does live here.

    The new Special Edition Corsa currently on the TV adverts at £250 pcm has a mileage limit of 6000 I think.

    My Nan's 1993 Rover Metro did about 55,000 in 16 years but I can't compete with yours! :)

    This post has nothing to do with users personnel usage, just what the leaser allows without a hike. ;). You use it more you pay for it.

    Just buy a car it's far cheaper.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Almost every lease deal advertised is based on 6k miles. Its to attract people in; they either than pay extra for more miles or incur the mileage penalty. A few dealers do advertise at 10k but the majority of lease deals offered are 6k per year.

    I've no intention of leasing a car-it wouldn't be suitable for me because of the high mileage I do. But I might be interested in buying one of these low mileage cars when the lease is up! ;)
