Thats a good price.
Being auto and stock I doubt the drivetrain has been hammered.
If its been maintained well it should be fine.

Id be more worried about rust and the suspension loosening up etc.

When I saw it last night, I thought it was £2-3k over-priced for the mileage...... scratchchin

car has been on and off for sale since Christmas, owner contacted me in march wanting to sell he had it up at £11k privately, guy wanted £10.5k for it but being stock i wasn't jumping up and down plus it last had tyres @ 25k miles ago, pads @ 30k ago and discs @ 50k ago so that put me write off. it has only had minimal basic servicing and is quite stone chipped.

The dealer who contacted me in april trying to deal with seller said it needed tyres and front brakes and it was probably only £500 max to do !!!! he hasn't had one before redface

how much this dealer has done since you need to check up on

really need to get a full appraisal of condition

As far as mileage goes, I wouldn't say it's an issue. Mine has 127k on it now, I bought it from James (aka Preciousmetal) about 3 months ago and have done 2500 miles already and it's performed faultlessly, it hasn't even used any oil.

Like James says though, if it needs tyres and brakes, then they're not cheap and you need to take that into account. At that price, needing things like that it makes some lower mileage ones look like better value. I know some people like standard cars, but you WILL want an aftermarket exhaust on one of these!
