General Cinqo/Sei long term ownership.

[Guzzi Steve]

Just wondered ,who has owned one the longest & covered the most miles?

 

[gaz.d]

coming upto 2 years now

20k trouble some miles

 

[jamie86]

I've done about 15k in 4 months

A few probs

 

[rallycinq]

I got my silver one in September 1996. I had added 50K to it when it was stripped the first time and its done about another 4K since. My black one has only been mine since 2000 and I have no idea how many miles I have added to it but its now done 80K, but will probably leave the raod at the end of this month.

Cheers

Silver one 4 yrs 11 months, covered 54,000.
Black one 11 months, covered 2,500 miles - spent about a pound a mile on the bloody thing so far then.

15K in four months, blimey! I bought my Sei in July,with 6.3k.It's now done 8.6k barely run in yet,no probs so far.(Touch wood) .I reckon Cento's are reliable if looked after.

 

[jamie86]

Yeah maybe I should get a diesel........

I quite often fill my tank up twice in one weekend

That's going some for any car.Is that 120.000, in total or on top of what the car has already done?

 

[imola_fowkes]

im not sure thats why i wanted someone to quote me on that

Before I bought my Sei,we had a Pug106XND.It covered over 90k in 'bout seven years.It would do about 55mpg on a run,but cost a fortune in servicing & repairs! Nearly as much as the car cost to buy in the first place! I would keep yer Cento most Derv's are shlloooowww! At leist Cento's are fun

 

[jamie86]

Yeah true glad if got the cinq as my other car did about 25mpg on a good day!

Anyway back on topic

It's done 123,000 miles - all but 10K of it has been travelled by the lady herself - and it's still going strong. Steve, you're right - if looked after they will last.

If I get that out of my Sei,I will be happy.Although I am planning to keep mine as I enjoy driving it.There aren't many cars that I can honestly say that about.

 

[Babysei]

had mine 5 years and has 50,000 on it

 

[arseofbox]

899cc - Maybe 5k miles at most / 1 year and a bit
1108cc - Maybe 2k miles / 6months
1242cc - ~1k miles at most (no speedo, whoops!!) / 2months

1242 = great. woundnt swap for anything if it worked!!

Bought mine April 2002 and it had 38k and now were at 70k nearly three years down the line, spent loads but uprated nearly everything and apart from clutch cables it always starts and gets me to anywhere.

I have done around 2000 miles and have spent about £350 on it so far.

Not exactly value for money motoring, but that was all within weeks of buying it and last 1500 miles have been completely trouble free.

it is now at 64k miles but I expect it to go well beyond 100k. My uno had essentially the same FIRE engine as the cinq and that ran sweet as with 120k on the clock when i got rid of it.

 

[Guzzi Steve]

It would be interesting to do a comparison with other small cars? Just too see how they stand up against them.Wonder if there are any 200.000k+ Cento's about still on their original engines?
