Just goes to show that if you allow the engine to warm up and cool down properly and stick to a strict maintenance schedule there is no reason they a car shouldn't last 200k+

TBF, could have had a new engine and gearbox.  If not, I'd be wanting it for a lot less than £4.3k.

Why?
Surely if anything it shows the car has been really well cared for.
My old TDI I sold for nearly £7k. For a 2004, 1.9 TDI. It had done 148k when I sold it!

For some people the high miles is actually peace of mind!  :happy2:

I've said it all along, why are people worrying when they hit 100k miles    :stupid:

Modern engines should do 300+k miles providing serviced properly  :happy2:

Miles is just a number so people can try get cars cheaper. It's only a number and like I always say why own a car if your never going to drive and enjoy it
