Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted March 22, 2016 Actually for sale or teasing?? It's all for sale, at the right price! All this hand wringing over 40,000km is nuts, I do slightly over that in a year. Seriously Kyu- they are all relatively young cars, just buy the prettiest one, you are overthinking this. On the topic of mileage, there is a 2004 X5 on TradeMe with over 500K km on the clock that the vendor is having some trouble selling, too much of a good thing perhaps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted March 22, 2016 Actually for sale or teasing?? It's all for sale, at the right price! Errmm... Maybe. I mentioned before that Mrs M was having some trouble getting in and out - arthritic hips and any car that has a vaguely low seat will cause problems. I can't always be there to help her! And... The move that we may be making would mean a 4x4 of some sort, even if an Audi Allroad, would be a good idea. Add to that the prices I have seen other E46 wagons being offered at and selling could be a tempting proposition. The only thing wrong with ours is stone chips. The 500k X5 looks interesting, but the seller is asking too much money. A 3.0d might stretch to that, but even they can be had with less mileage and for less money. We'd like an economic 'proper' 4x4, and the new LR Disco Sport is a very tempting proposition. 57mpg is under 5 litres per 100km, something I find astonishing. I spoke to a friend who sells JLR in the UK, and they did an economy run on a closed circuit... He's not allowed to reveal the figures, but told me that if I guessed 'more than 70mpg' I might be in the ballpark. Just need $90k or so to make that happen. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryadre 12 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 I will agree with some of the earlier posts, if there isnt much in it, comparing 80kms to 50kms, I would go for the newer car with higher kms (but choose condition over everything else). I went for higher mileage tidy car (105kms with facelift) over older car with less kms. You soon rack up the Kms in the car anyway. I have often seen people with a nice tidy vehicle and think, wow that looks like a nice car, and then you are surprised when you see it has done 180kms. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
