Mines on 120k, sold my last car (SAAB 9-5 Aero) at 150k, still see it now, 2 years on...

SAAB's are quick, esp. when tuned, and have a strong engine, shame they had to be killed by GM:

9-5 Aero 312 vs 320 Edition 30:


So, to answer your question, I would say see how you fair, if you have a dog then patch it up and sell it on, otherwise stick with it and maintain it properly and you'll be good for a long time. :happy2:

I bought mine on 47k and said I  it 3 years on Wednesday. I originally said I'd keep it until it was on 70k or three years which ever come first, but it doesn't look like its going anywhere til at least 90k now

I have done 4000 miles this year, and the car has done 64k all in.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Got my eddy on 44k and now on 49k. I said I will keep it till 60k-70k but I'm sad to say I'm bored already. I go through cars so quick I'm debating doing few mods to see if that changes my mind at all

Still standard mate. Haven't had chance to buy anything for it with work commitments. So much want to do but where I'm bored I'm wondering if it is worth it. Im sure you will tell me it will be lol

All day, everyday and twice on Sunday's :happy2:  It's the torque increase that really makes the difference, like driving a different car mate... much, much more enjoyable.  I'd say get it mapped, then if your not grinning; sell it. :drinking:

No a GTi but GT TDI. After racking up 19k in a little over 7 months i'm going to keep it for at least another 40k miles (so 18 months) or might just run it into the ground but that could take a while :)
