When is high KM's too high?

Renaults have factory rattles for no extra cost.

A car is only as new as the parts fitted to it, like a good pare of jeans some ware better than others.

Cant beat Brand New.

a high mileage car that shows its been well looked after is no problem.However a car that is described as a stuffed interior and a broken bumper doesnt sound like the above description....my view.At 147000 ks my 535 was pretty mint.At 260 odd ks its in just a good condition in all respects with a complete service history.

Personally, I think a car becomes worth scrapping if the price to fix it (assuming there is something wrong with it) outweighs the price to buy another one exactly the same.

Did this when I crashed my E30, the price to get it back the way it was worked out more than a replacement, so I replaced it.

Sometimes its not about the odo reading because the car is good and tidy and runs well.

sometimes it matters a LOT more for resale and financial reasons.

There is no rule of thumb.

I'm so glad someone has said this, totally agree.

Hey. i'd be pretty stoked to have had a list of cars like that...so, why not list them up?

IMO there's not alot of difference in comparison to the car porn thread or other threads where owners like to show their cars off. my 0.2!

Hahaha this thread amuses me

My 540 has over 400k on it and I'll keep driving it hard until the engine blows up. Then I'll drop another one in and keep driving it Bits and pieces have been replaced along the way and since I sorted the glovebox and the clips holding the door cards I get no rattles.

I'd own it over any Commocoon of any vintage and any number of Japanese cars. Mondeos are soulless boring POS's too.

Haumoana Hoon Mark , I like that

Ive seen your car driving around and it doesnt look like a 400k car. Its a minter!

Also a couple of higher K M52B28 around as well, in these e39's

Rego

FCD686 - 390K

AYP915 - 353K

Both still very tidy cars as well, so no anything with a 2 in front of it is still relatively low.

Owned my E36 msport for a year it's about 276000 kms atm went through 2 WOFs

1st One had to replace 1 suspension as it was leaking oil.

2nd had to replace 3 brake hose as it was worn

other than those no big problems yet.

Im sitting on 185000miles (297000km). My car drives better then ever as it got reconditioned 2 years ago. You can always breath a breath of fresh air into a car no matter how many km. Unless its cracked or warped of course.
