KT - not sure the bond analogy is a good one.

I think the point about cars with high mileage having had that big money maintenance spend part of their life covered are cheaper than they should be is a good one. The mileage puts a lot of less sophisticated buyers off who don't even go as deep as what has been spent and that leaves others to get them 'cheap'.

I think you're spot on here. If you do your research, you know what the potential problems are going to be, and roughly when they'll happen. If you can find a well looked after car that has been through all this necessary work then you're in a win-win - the cost of maintenance has been covered by the previous owner, and the high(er) mileage is an obvious bargaining point.

No-brainer to me.

The second one at £8k look like a bit of a bargain!?

Where is the nearest M specialist to Glamorgan to have getting it checked over?
