60,000 Mile Tuscan!
Discussion
For sale on AutoTrader
This is by far the highest mileage Tuscan I've heard of - I wonder how many rebuilds it has had?...

Nice alloys. Would love to see the service history on that for rebuilds. Anyone fancy phoning them?

ABS ?
Heated Rear Screen ?
I think when the dealers add the cars onto Auto Trader that just click all of the boxes meaning greater exposure on searches. Unfortunately once everyone starts doing this it negates the use of being able to search for cars with say, ABS.

Agreed, but if you can't believe the blurb then you can't believe the mileage either. Which was my point really

Like the above it's probably a mis-print and it's done 6000 miles.
I don't think it will have done 6,000 miles given the price.
Why not?
Didn't a 15,000 miler go through the auctions recently for £17,500?
Auctions != dealer.
Ah, crap, gave away my scientific roots there... :geek: Meant "does not equal" in English.
Bought my Cerb from a dealer for £22k after they'd bought it through the auctions... from experience, I think they made about a £5k markup on it... which'd have put a mint (and I do mean top-spec) V reg 4.2 Cerb with 20k on the clock at £17k 18 months ago...
Would estimate that the difference between auction and private/trade is going to be about £5k for most "similar" Tivs (assuming private/indy sale).

It is really 60K miles, but a cat D.
and NO rebuilds.
J_S_G is this going to throw out the scale on your rebuild graphs?
I'm sure it would!
If it's a V plate, then it's a bl**dy early car... does that mean that they switched to cheaper parts when production "ramped up" - that it was an early "test engine" that got dropped in a car, etc? Or if it's a Cat D that went back to the factory, who's to say the engine wasn't "tweaked". Etc. etc.
Given the failure rate of early engines before getting them rebuilt & sorted, something is clearly "not the norm" with that one, one way or another...

If its really a V reg it must be a preproduction car as they didn't start production delivery 'til apr/may 2000 which is W reg.
Cat D, but rebuilt by the car sales Body / paint man.
I'm a little dubius of the no rebuild claim, but you never know, what year did the cerb have the s6?

Late '99, wasn't it? (Figure sticks in my mind, but I can't be sure)
Def. know you could get a production Tuscan in March 2000. V reg does make me think there's a chance it's not a production engine. But that's a total guess.
