Jetpilot Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Dont get too hung up on low mileage, buy the best condition car for your budget Quote
Far2lively Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 That's what I intent to do Something below 65k would be nice though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Jetpilot Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Something below 65k would be nice though Barely even run in at that kind of mileage what is the concern re anything with probably average miles for a 10+ year old car, 80k or above? Quote
Far2lively Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Just want a relatively low mileage car, why buy a car with 80+ thousand miles when I can get one much lower?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Jetpilot Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Because it makes no difference to condition of engine or chassis good luck in your search. Quote
ts743 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I have friends who get really hung up on mileage, it doesn't bother me as it means nothing (within reason). These friends have gone out and bought low mileage cars that have very quickly needed new engines! The care and level of service the car has received over the miles covered is far more important.

If the car has been maintained to a high standard and looked after I wouldn't mind about the mileage, the main thing would be that the car is free of rust.

Far2lively Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Found this on Pistonheads. Looks good! Anyone know the car?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Stuggerz Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Not yet. Bit of a drive for me. Have not got the time atm. Quote
Far2lively Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Not yet. Bit of a drive for me. Have not got the time atm. Yeah the rust issue puts me off slightly, that's the main thing I'm concerned about with any car I buy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
ts743 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Chuck me a PM if you're interested in a really decent example - mine's up for grabs, but I haven't advertised yet. Absolutely no rust, wants for nothing, all major service items done - One of the best out there in your budget IMO - you would not be disappointed. Quote

HiddenWomble Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 save a bit longer and stretch to the HR engine, you know you want that 7.5K redline and 308bhp Quote
Far2lively Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 save a bit longer and stretch to the HR engine, you know you want that 7.5K redline and 308bhp Is there much difference? What's the price on these?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
HiddenWomble Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 not a massive difference no. the biggest difference is where she red lines. the first DE goes to 6.5K, the rev up 7K and the HR 7.5K. the bhp goes from 287 DE, just over 300 rev up and 308 HR, which you'd probably not be able to tell the difference between on a test drive. the DE has the 2 lines in the bonnet and a single air intake, the HR has the bulge and twin intakes, so you might prefer one for styling and if you're into modding then be aware the HR will cost more to tweak. the HR starts in 2007 (so some will still be rev up), they are younger and also fetch a higher price. take a look on autotrader over the whole country to get a feel for price difference. i know the rev up is 2006, but i'm not sure how to tell the difference in the flesh, probably go by the internal cabin trim. DE starts out one way, gets a face lift with the rev up and then final tweaks for the HR. might be worth hunting about for examples of each at local dealerships and seeing which one you prefer. Quote
