OK, not the highest mileage in the world, but some serious gonads and cash involved in putting 105k on a V12 diesel Q7! Remember it has ceramic brakes as standard… pricey!!!!

Something about the tyres looks odd to me. The tread pattern looks weird, like an off road tyre.http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2023100426...

Not for sale, but a testament of how good a 2002 car can be.
Bought this 230k kms 916 Spider TS for 3k Euro and it has ran 2500 kms last month: broken valve in a rear tyre was the only peril so far.
What. A. Car.
German import (2002-2016), then driven by another careful loving owner and stored between 2021 until recent.
It needs a huge list of small things. Next week: NOS rear window, radio out and DIN box in (USB for phones) and upgrade to LED.
Michelin Alpins are s
te (too hard) and end of March I will choose 215/16 Vreddies on used Alfa rims.The original Teardrops are 16" and suit the character of this Spider.
Induction noise is not the typical Alfa howl so I need to look at that. It's more Abarth yell and top end is a bit poor. Especially compared to our 2006 147, which is also a twolitre car.

They'll be the previous owner's winter wheels; 21s on these originally. Hiding in the back of the garage or sold off elsewhere...
I have winter tyres and Porsche alloys for a first gen Cayenne and winter tyres on steel wheels for an XC70 in my garage. 
Nobody wanted to part with good money for them, I’ll probably ditch the tyres from the Cayenne alloys as they’re about 10 years old now and just try to sell the alloys.
Two year old 2021 Up GTI with 71250 miles (56808 miles above average apparently). £12108 seems overpriced to me even as a VW approved used.

Alloys have always been way too cheap second hand if you ask Me. Thats why I now have far too many. It will cost you to remove the tyres so I would recommend just selling as is. Storing and transporting wheels without tyres is a right pita too. Just because 10 year old tyres are an MOT fail now does not mean someone cant use them especially if they are doing a bit of off roading.Nobody wanted to part with good money for them, I’ll probably ditch the tyres from the Cayenne alloys as they’re about 10 years old now and just try to sell the alloys.

Ten year tyre rule only applies to buses and coaches iirc Only on vehicles carrying more than 8 seats. So maybe the likes of a Q7 ok but with 3 in the boot you might not be.

There are a number of unusual use cases which necessitate a car being used to get from a long distance a to b regularly, which gain mileage rapidly.
Buying this type of car I believe is somewhat of a bargain due to it being heavily depreciated and yet it has simply been used in top gear at 70 for much of its life - clutch/brakes/seats/doors/latches/windows all with very light use on a per mile basis.
If the maintenance has been performed regularly then I feel it an opportunity to buy something nicer than with a more conventional use case
