Never bought a car based on its mileage. I rarely listen to what the seller is telling me either as anyone selling a car, especially a used car dealer, is likely to pish on your back and tell you that you’re sweating just to get a sale.
I buy based on what’s in front of me and if it’s what I want and priced accordingly.
I can't agree more with this. My Bora has 155k on it and runs like a dream. I give it death at every opportunity and it takes it. If I'd the money sticks ARP rod bolts and a supercharger on it in the morning.
The VR6 engine i put into my MK3 came out of a fire damaged car so I've genuinely no idea if it had 50k or 250k on it. It never gives problems. I've driven it across England 3 times, all over ireland and it doesn't get an easy life and it just keeps going.
You need to remember the mileage on the clock is only the minimum the car had done. There are that many people fiddling with cars i don't believe what it says unless its backed up with solid evidence and again it doesn't annoy me for a good car
