High mileage cars for sale
Discussion
Spotted on Facebook, here is a XJ 2008 Sovereign with over 420,000mls.
Looks like it has worn well.

A £15k Jag with a quarter of a million miles on it from MotorHub or Keighley Trade or whatever name they are using this month? What could possibly go wrong!??

Over £5k seems a lot of money for a decade old car that is, let's be honest, most of the way to death. That's enough money to be too much to throw away on a chance, particularly if you're the sort of person who even looks at decade old 200k BMWs AVV EM said:
So how many people actually buy these 200k+ mile cars?
I own an E320 with just over 100k on it and it's my daily car. I will admit that it doesn't feel it's age at all and if it's cared for how I look after it for the rest of it's life then at 200k it should still be a great, solid car. Thing is, for some of the prices of the 200k+ cars in here, like that £15k Jag I can't help wondering who'd go for it? I know it's that age old quote, 'What else could you get for the money!' but that's an amount of money that can get you a hell of a lot of Jag/BMW/Merc/Audi that has way less than half that mileage.
Personally I'd look at high mileage cars like these as options when you want a lot of car for not much cash. Sub £5k I would say (like my E Class) I can't see why you would otherwise no matter how good the car is.

I wonder the same thing. I wonder the same thing on ordinary cars that are super low miles. like a 10yr old ford focus for £6000 that's got under 10k miles or something.Thing is, for some of the prices of the 200k+ cars in here, like that £15k Jag I can't help wondering who'd go for it?
i.e.
£3000 '00 corsa 1.0litre, 7k miles
hmm maybe that's an idea for a topic 'super low mileage cars for sale'

That's a good point too but then there's a lot of people that like the security of owning a car whether they need one or not. My nan refuses to sell her little 1.2 Corsa, it's got 45k on it and is over 10 years old. She had the clutch replaced last year (yep one of those drivers!) and yet she now says she's too old to drive. That's quite admirable as many drivers soldier on when they shouldn't but she won't sell the car in case she wants to use it. i.e.
£3000 '00 corsa 1.0litre, 7k miles

I can't comment too much as I have a couple of fairly average cars that have stupidly low mileage.
Thing is buying a low mileage car is appealing to many. Provided they're properly serviced, they're going to show less signs of wear and tear than high mileage cars. On average at least.

Not 200k+ but had several 150k+, current one is on 173k and last one was sold on 170k.Mileage has never bothered me. Cars break, things need fixed, 200k miles is likely to have been on a motorway. Ive seen 70k mile cars completely shagged with rust winning a fight, just depends how it has been maintained really.

I'd rather have a 20 yo Merc with 250k any day.
