I can imagine the conversation:
Buyer "Hmm... it's very high mileage"
Vendor "Really? No $hit. Tell me something I don't know."

fandf... seems the dealer has already had that... look at the car details on the link ross gave, rather funny realy.

Reading the link was what made me imagine the conversations, and how irate the vendor is getting at that comment! [:D]
That's amazing mileage too. From here to the moon in 3 years!
That's about 228 miles a DAY for the last 3 years. Blimey! the engine can't have ever gotten cold!

This is low mileage compared to the GolfR32 that was on ebay a while back.

The mileage wouldn`t really put me off buying it.But i have seen 1-2 yr older cars with around 80-110k miles for the same price.
Modern car engines these days are built to last,because yearly mileage has gone up.Gone are the days when the Pinto in a Sierra needed a rebuild at 100k.(i should know,i did 2 of them!)[:)]

Jon why has your post on this thread come out the way it has, as it's difficult to read. [:D]

Howzat?
Unfortunately had to delete the link to autotrader as it didn't work and was going sideways instead of downwards and sending everybody cross eyed trying to read the posts.
Some forums <snip> the URL this one doesn't unfortunately.
