not really.
My DBM classic has over that mileage (but had a engine rebuild), but it has had over £10k spent on it, so it is worth close to £7k. That is just my opinion. The price is always what someone will pay for it.

Erm yup. It'd have to be concours car at that mileage...which it ain't as its been fecked about with. You can get some pristine low mileage examples for under that price.

If he wants it to sell, it will have to come down in price a fair whack. Unless someone silly comes along......and it'll be a long long wait in that neck of the woods.

well it doesn't seem that his has had that sort of money spent on it, not worth it for mileage IMHO

More importantly what has been spent on it shows its likely to be ragged with standard engine internals. Without an engine and gearbox rebuild invoice, I'd rather have one thats not been messed with.

i would always stay clear of a high mileage, modded car. Call me paranoid but....

also think its a bit steep considering others available on the market. Nothing wrong with trying though

I wouldn't expect a whole lot more than £3k for my MY99

in comparison, i payed £3900 for my my99 classic last december. pretty standard but had been modified in the past and returned to standard.

had 120,000 on the clock, but the engine then was 50k old. only engine problem is noisy tappets, which il get sorted with a rebuild eventually anyways.

Having a "blow off valve" probably takes £2k of the price alone
