What are the problems with purchasing such a vehicle? Seems like a bargain if high milers are OK ...

Apologies in advance to all the "old timers" who may well point me to previous posts on this subject!!

Wow that is an immense amount of miles for a car that age!

 

Thats about £17,000 of fuel

 

I see he also states 6 months warranty left - don't think so with 114K miles on it.

Personally i dont think mileage is much of a factor with modern day engines nowadays... If its been properly serviced (FSH) on schedule then it should be ok if there are no apparent faults upon a test drive....

p.s. may have extended warrenty or 3rd party warrenty.....?

Most of those miles will have been done by joyriders then!

Personally, I wouldn't buy a performance car with those miles on it. It may well sail past the 150k mark in which case you'll have 37k miles with it, but it may need a rebuild before then. I seem to recall David from API engines (who knows his Scooby engines) commenting on here that if you get x milage out of an engine before a rebuild you shouldn't consider yourself hard done by. I don't recall what that figure was, but I don't think it was greater than 150k miles.

I'd imagine that a good few of the consumables will need replacing if they've not already been done, eg. turbo, clutch etc...

seller also selling 'lost and recovered' mobile phones..... also can't spell

 

I reckon it's been clocked.
















I make it about 120 miles a day- EVERYDAY

Don't even think about it, my 02 STi was a rattly pile of **** after 60,000.
