Ok so its just a general question...just curious about how people view high mileage and what indeed is high mileage to you.?

Ive seen (online) a car local to me and well with in budget...its a 2.5 petrol but mileage is 185k.

Worth a look or walk away...what do you think.

[Webby the Bear]

My dad always told me that cars with 100k on them are not worth the hassle. Butthat was years ago.

There's loads of cars on here with over 200k and 300k. So as long as you check the car's functioning correctly then it wouldn't concern me.

Ps, mine's on 107k... and on here it's considered a young pup

All depends on how well they've been looked after. My Omega & previous Senator were both sold with around 180k on the clock, both were great. The Smart was bought with 37k on the clock & subsequently had to spend a load on it to lack of proper care & attention.

My truck is on 172k 2.2 petrol,still pulls ok and runs great,its all done to how well it has been maintained tho ,and who services it 

[Stuart30]

Guess that's the key..how its been maintained.

Im assuming a V6 will take such high miles better than a 4 pot...must admit im bloody tempted as its pretty cheap and decent spec.

Sweet! 

Well, when I say sweet I mean ''not as good as the 'CD' guise, but a close second''

Apart from a slight incontinence problem, and more bodywork issues due to be older, my 218k 3.0l is a far better car than my 90k 3.2l
