50k high mileage?
Looking on autotrader online and there seems a few sti's which have 50k going for 10k,
To me thats a lot of car for the money, however the mileage kinda puts me off. I would only be doing 6k or so a year so could i expect many problems with that sort of mileage? or should i spend a little more and get one with less mileage? I am looking at blob eyes if that helps |
What year of Blobeye though?:confused:
Mines an 04 (Jan) and currently on 48k miles, was 38k when I bought it last May. Average yearly mileage is usually given as 12.5k miles, so in 4 years that would be 50k miles, so mine is slightly under average, but is still a 50k mile Blobeye due to the fact it's my daily driver. More important than mileage is service history - has it been done regularly and by who, any additional receipts for other work etc. |
Just nicely run in at 50k.
|
i think service history is most important ,mileage does'nt mean anything these days . infact i think you have more problems with cars out of the showroom with delivery miles
|
Cambelt service should be done at 50k which can be an expensive service. At least my WRX was at 50k so presume Sti the same.
|
Looking at a 03/53 plate car, Says its got f/s/h which i assume is Subaru,
So as long as the service history is tip top then mileage should be much of a problem. Cam belt at 50k, anything else costly? |
50k miles is nothing on a modern car these days, as others have said as long as the servicing has been done by a reputable garage (preferably subaru) and is up to date then you should have no problems, just make sure its had its 50k mile service which includes the cam belt change, i have a 03 sti ppp and it had its 50k mile service 3 months ago i paid £495 at MGK which is a main subaru dealers so you will need to take this into account if the service needs to be done. :thumb:

Nice one mate, Just been looking at the road tax, omg its a ripoff!! |
so long as it has got full subaru or subaru specialist service history then not a problem on 50k.
just make sure the 50k belt change service has been done as that can be quite expensive. i bought my 2004 blob wrx with 56k on the clock about 15 months ago and had no problems as said just nicely run in. |

Nice one mate,
Just been looking at the road tax, omg its a ripoff!! I am also looking at a MY55 STi, and have been promised by the dealer that the tax is and will be £210, not £400 as a lot of people suspect. Anyone confirm this with me? Obviously the MY 55 was registered before 2006! Is the dealer telling a "white" lie so that I buy it or will the tax be £200 as opposed to the £400? Cheers |
50k cambelt and 60k plugs, tranmission oil, diff oil etc and costs as much if not more.
£210 this year but £300 next i think 5t. |

How much is the road tax? Surely it can't be anymore than the £210 that Mr Darling has set (£5 increase from £205)? Even though it is a Band "G", the tax will NOT be £400 as far as I am aware as it was registered before some month in 2006.
