as said before, the engines are ok at that mileage, as long as its has been reg serviced and looked after, if the gearbox is crunchy then it could cost another £500 or so :roll: ( unless you get a second hand one). double check its mechanically sound...dont just go with the bodywork.

:D Hi, my 300Tdi now has 212,000 on the clock and runs very well. Engine doesn't smoke, gives 30+mpg regularly, never uses any oil. Gearbox is good but doesn't like a hurried 2nd to 3rd, still got original shocks, pas pump and alternator. It gets regular oil changes and tlc.
I wouldn't swap it, it's a gem.
