Hi

Have seen a 2005, Carrera for sale, 45k miles, manual, decent interior spec. Any advice on what I would be expecting to replace within the next couple of years? It's not in an OPC & I've not seen the car yet except for images on pistonheads and dealer website.

A 7 year old car, will the exhaust be needing replaced soon? Will check the service history, etc when I see the vehicle but curious as to what else I should be looking for.

Thanks

Yes, I had wondered at that aswell when I saw it on the dealer website. Don't know if their price is too far way though, there's a similar spec in an OPC down Manchester way with 10k miles less but £5k more. With the OPC warranty peace of mind included and the lower mileage it may be a better buy.

Not going to be home for another 2 weeks so will just have to keep an eye on them.

Thanks to all for the advice.

Don't need the finance but do have a Scirocco to either trade in or sell privately.

Thanks for the message, nice car but I still have to sell mine first.


Cheers
