Yes but £23k Main Dealer PX means the car would be marketed at about £27/28k.... |

As I've discovered.... 
Looked at 12 (yes, that's TWELVE) FFRRs today, 9 superficially and three in some depth. All crap except one, which was at least £5k more than I thought it was worth. Sigh.

In fairness a Main Dealer needs at least a 5K margin to make a profit:

Looks nice and great colour combo - must be a "Motorway" car. (Bit overpriced) |

Having owned Land and Range Rovers for 30+ years now, I have to agree. A good example was my last P38. Looked immaculate, drove really well, sounded great - 48,000 genuine miles. It was nothing but trouble! Air suspension, steering column, brakes, timing chain, water leaks.... I have always had the theory that it takes 80k miles (and pounds probably) to get them right and get stuff sorted on them to make them reliable. I broke my own rule with that P38 and got bitten by it! By 80k if the engine was going to go bang early, it probably would have done... Same for gearbox - they seem to last 50 to 70k or forever! A car with 100k on it these days is not the knackered old nail that a vauxhall Viva would have been in the late 70's. I'd say don't worry about the milage - buy on condition, never age or milage - but don't be lulled into a false sense of security by low miles. It's either spent it life in dealers being repaired or grinding around a city all it's life in low gears. You just need to remember that with higher mileage cars that things do wear out and keep a weather eye on things like shocks, brakes, exhausts etc. But even with replacing the odd ball joint you will still be quids in, both when you buy it and when you sell it as the depreciation mostly all happened before you bought it. |
