Title: is 250K too high?????
Post by: simon15 on November 15, 2006, 09:21:29: Just had a nose through autotrader and there is a disco 200 tdi with mods for Ã‚Â£1000 it has tax and mot but has done 252K

Is this a bit too high mileage?

Must agree with the farmer mind - plenty around for that sort of money that don't have huge mileage

OR

The disco may have had an engine rebuild at some point. My rover 620i has got 216k on the clock but engine was rebuilt at 180k do it is a relatively new engine. It may run really nice and if you have a full service history then why not check it out.

I have every single bill and work done from all owners of my rover (AA, my dad, me :D )

Just because a car has high mileage doesnt mean it is a no go-er in my books. Just means you could be the 1 laughing when in 5 years time it is still going and you got a bargain!!!

NO too many people are trying to do this you will be very lucky to get Ã‚Â£600 back on that (that excludes cost of disco and your time)
