I bought the Mark 16 years ago today.

I think I'll have a beer to celebrate.

Nice :thumbsup:

I need to look up my paper work, i know i got it in August of 1997, was my first "new" car

 

[driller]

How many miles ago?

 

[Last Mrk]

It turned over to 100K August 2011. I have 101,600 on it now.

 

[tixer]

Still a baby!

I've officially owned mine for just over 10 years now.. but I bought it with the mileage that yours has now...

 

[SCTBIRD1173]

Definitely beer worthy! :love-it:

 

[Slowmkviii]

Awesome
I'm only at 11 years with my 97.

 

[billcu]

Very nice!

Congratulations!

Very Nice! These days anyone owning a car longer than 4 years seems to be unheard of (New or Used).

I technically still have my first Mark that I bought 11 years ago.... most of it...

Love people lovin their VIIIs for that long. Brilliant. My roomie has had hers since January of 2002. Bought her with 65k miles and she just turned 100k this year. She's one of the greatest VIIIs I've ever driven... Black on Prairie Tan LSC.

Well if it counts for anything I chased mine around for 7 years before I bought it in 2010 Also I've had my SC for 15 years this September and it's close enough to a Mark VIII right? :wink:

 

[Trixie]

Congrats Paul! That is so awesome!

Funny that this was steve's first new car, mine was my first used, lol. It was the only thing I'd consider buying used at the time cause I couldn't get a new one. And of course at the same dealer, as you.

And of course at the same dealer, as you.

I remember that. I bought it there when I still lived in Mt Prospect.
