Why worry to much about the mileage? It's seems to have been well looked after, and has a FSH. It would appear a better bet than anything advertised with, '...recently rebuilt engine..'
Obviously the price is negotiable; what are the reasons for the sale, has it been owned from new? etc.
Don't overlook a very honest car that has only been well used; and used well.

I can't see the problem tbh - It has covered 103k which isn't far over the average mileage for a 1996 car plus as already mentioned it has a FSH so has been looked after 
Make them an offer 
Cheers

Ok heres the deal, its a BMW dealer and they are willing to take my sport... which I paid £5500 for. Now as my car mad brother pointed out, it would be a ******* to sell with such high mileage.. obviously I don't get many offers like this and I'm guessing their gonna be after a bit of money too, even though mine is worth more..
I just want a turbo

Dont be put off by high milers, but be aware of the other ware and tear such as bushes, ball-joints which all ware (i think thats the right one!) with miles and age. A good car is a good car.

FWIW, many true high milers will potentially have trundled up and down motorways etc, which isn't exactly stressful on the engine/turbo/whatever. Put it another way - I'd much rather have a car with 100k long journeys on the clock and FSH than something with 35k on the clock that has done lots of short journeys, the odd trackday, got a few ill-considered mods and has no service history.

my uk turbo is on 124k on a r plate and i bought it at 56k in that time its only needed a flywheel as mine kept juddering which is excellent for the sort of car it is, mine is quite modified to and been remapped to 19psi and is still going strong no knock on the engine at all but i wouldnt pay 5k though you should be able to knock him down quite a bit

5300 is way too much for that mate, if he's a BMW main dealer he ain't gonna want that kinda motor on his forecourt. 4K is what i'd aim at if I we're you.
Mine is a 96 uk turbo with 93k and i would fall over if someone offered me £5300.

Is it a silly idea looking at this car ? Seems clean, but you never really know
