they say anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500. Yet that only is true for older people who don't drive that much. I have 14,200 and i have had the car since august. I also put 4,000 miles on in 1 week. Drove from florida to new york. I think there shouldn't be an average milege, because everybody puts different mileage on in 1 year. It is really hard to tell. Then again people have more than one car.
