high millage

[james__vts]

ive seen a saxo vts i like its a yr 2000 cant remember the reg.

but its got 106000 miles.

is this too high?

[CJ_Saxo]

I guess it depends how well looked after it is...

Does it have FSH?

[hesslevtr]

average is 10000-12000 a year

8 year old car so just slightly higher then normal

if its been looked after well i shouldnt be a problem

[bakkipouch]

personally wouldnt buy a car with over 100,000 miles but thats just me

[Mark51]

^^ it could be a minter though mate.

as long as a its been looked after then you should be alright but make sure you see proof of work thats been done

[jablitt]

find out about the history of the car mate, if its been regularly maintained with regular oil and filter changes etc (plus the oil was of relatively good quality) it could be fine. plus, if the car is mechanically sound but with high looking mileage you could negotiate a bargin!

[Quick]

High miles can be better than ultra low miles!
Low miles never gets upto temp with short journeys!

[stevo67]

As long as it`s been looked after there is no problem.If the high mileage is motorway miles then even better.

depends on the previous owners to be honest.

106k with a nutter behind the wheel is probably going to be bad news
106k with a regular motorway driving could be good news

its not that clear cut unfortunately..

More Info Needed! Ud Hope It Was A Female Driver Unless Shes A Nutter! Lol

may i point out that you probably caused them to crash into your car :p

[laura_g]

nopes not at all one was a boy racer who drove straight into the back and the other was a fookin blind old man who came out of a junction when i was on a rounabout staright into the side of me, oh and why is it that women get cheaper car insurance ad

[Barry123]

oh and why is it that women get cheaper car insurance ad

because they cause otherwise perfectly good drivers (men) to crash by doing something daft.


:)

you know im joking(ish) yeah?

[laura_g]

no im crying my lil heart out now ads oj, i know that im a better driver anyway lol anyway id say that over 100k is alot sometimes better if its a diesle though as they run for longer

[james__vts]

cheers for the advice everyone

[laura_g]

[james__vts]

[laura_g]

[james__vts]

[laura_g]

[L20VTS]

My vts has just done 100k bought her about 3months ago, she had full service history when we bought her and loads of other recipts for general mantainance.

Nothing wrong with her what so ever :)
Definately go look at it and see what you think to it.

[james__vts]

ok mate cheers

[Tringaling]

Yer man...i bet u ull fall in lvoe with it..my vts i did..its just amazing..! hope it works out for u dude! :)

[james__vts]

thanks

[cooperman]

when i got my vtr it had 106.000 on the clock i was slightly concerned. glad i did buy though its done 109000 now and hasnt missed a beat. love it. only problem with a high mileage car is the wear and tear parts that need doing. since ive had mine ive done the shocks, ball joints, top mounts and clutch kit, so in my case it wasnt the engine that was the worry and still isnt.

[james__vts]

cheers fella

[raptornexus]

average is 10000-12000 a year

8 year old car so just slightly higher then normal

[stalkah66]

I average 40k miles a year! I have 3 saxos one with 130k on the clock the other is about 100k and the other is 90k all are running really srong because they only do motorway driving and are looked after well and serviced regulary!

[ad1101]

Hi. I bought a vtr that had 126 000 on the clock. Full service history and one previous owner, it was a steal for the money i paid for it and i havnt had any problems. so far so good!!

[james__vts]

cheers all.

just got to sell my escort gti first.

[MaRiO89]

My car is on 124k now and gets abit of abuse, aslong as its been serviced as said and has been allowed to warm up before any hard driving it will be fine..

I do trackdays, abit of start stop driving and it gets nailed frequnetly and mine is fine..

Fortunatly i have replaced pretty much everything apart from the engine, wishbones and droplinks so all the other parts are like a new car..:P

[Scattle]

126k here no problemo and does probsbaly 175 miles a week near enough.

[MaRiO89]

Mine does about 400 miles a week with quite abit of stop start driving..:d

[Scattle]

[james__vts]
