Well Alan, the nationalists are holding Norway as a beacon of how we could become.......... makes you think and bloody swear apologies for being off topic

Portugal is cheap!
I just paid 30,000 pound for a 2002 V8 in Norway!
Papers show that it cost over 150,000 pounds when new in 2002, now thats tax for you!

I had a TD4 Freelander which had 187000 miles on when I brought it it had full service history one owner from new drove and looked superb never missed a beat, I sold with over 200000 miles on didn't loose very much at all in my 3 years of ownership.
Car is still going strong with its new owner I see it around now and then and it still looks great.

Mines done 122k and runs realy well after the problems were solved , I'm looking to change now and the most I've been offered is 7.5 k part ex against a 28 k tdv8 with 70k on the clock , time to look for a different manufacturer me thinks

Or dare I say a supercharged rrs

Lowest mileage car i have had recently has been a 110k mile C5. My FF is on 147k although it hasn't moved off the drive in nearly a year i did put about 24k or so on it in just under 2 years and bought it on something like 123/4k.

Out of my current cars its the lowest mileage one with 1 being on 202k and another on 185k and still going strong.

Servicing and care is what gets a car to high miles. Plodding about on the school/shopping run will see it off well before its real death crush would do.

IMO getting a high miler thats good for buttons saves a fortune and will lose little money in the long run.

My TD6 was valued at more than i paid for it by an insurance company after an accident the other year and whilst i know its still taken a dip, depreciation that low is hard to come by in the same segment as the FF unless you move into the £.5-2k territoy and even then thats only really Jeeps & LR's that dont bottom out more than that. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
