I see cars for sale all the time that state ' low miles' & may have 40k to over 60k miles.



I see 8 - 10 year cars for sale stating low mileage & it is often well over 50k miles.... Low miles? Right!

Jim, "my opinion" is 5,000 miles or less. These GMMG cars are basically collector cars in "my opinion". Some of us have driven them some and put a few miles on them but for those that treat their car as a driver and have even 20,000 miles on them..................that would be higher miles "in my opinion". They should put "lower miles than an average Camaro/Firebird". Again...................just my opinion. My ZL-1 Supercar has 1,988 miles on it now and my Intimidator SS has 1,275 miles on it.

I do not claim to be a Expert but the first generation Camaro crowd and the 'Vette guys seem to think 5000 miles or less is 'low miles'.



However, ask my friend and the most knowledgeable Muscle Car guy I know, Floyd Garett, and he'll tell you 1000 or less is low. And according to him, 500 or less is a New Car!

I think when you are talking collector cars (like GMMG's) anything under 5K miles maybe up to 6-8K is low miles when its 10-15 years old. However the older the cars get that tends to change in my opinion. If you had a 1969 Camaro Z28 survivor with 20K miles I certainly would call that low miles. Everyone has a different idea on what "low miles" are just like "excellent condition" .

My Brickyard 400 must be high miles...23,000 for a car that is 10.5 years old. Seems low to me but I actually enjoy driving it. :)
