Mates looking for a really clean lowish miles 964 C2. Vast bulk of private sale ones seem to be up or over 100K though.

They are 15 years old now. With the best will in the world only doing 8k a year they will be at 120k.

And doing 400 miles per year is not going to do a car any favours.

Having said that, I hear that the Pink Pig car is a very tidy piece of kit !

The amount of work done on the car, who did the work, how it is stored and how often it gets let out and warmed up will have a greater cumulative effect than the number of miles it has done.

50K miles with no work, kept on the street, basic servicing only to get the stamps will be a complete dog.

Buy on condition from someone who has looked after the car.

If they have been well looked after and had all the big jobs done (top engine rebuild, oil lines, clutch, suspension) why worry?

I've seen a few running perfectly at over 200k and equally loads of dogs at under 70k. As someone once said buy on condition and bag yourself a bargain! wink

Bought mine with 65k miles...oh, but I've added another 65k, so now at 130k.

But the car is in better condition now than when I bought it (especially as shocks, clutch, brakes are all under 12,000 miles old).

1. Condition is much more important than mileage

2. Ignore any suggestions that "it'll need a top end rebuild at 100k"

3. Try and find one that's done at least 12,000 miles with the same owner over the last year or more. That way it's difficult for PO to ignore any jobs that have needed doing along the way.
