Dan350 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 its abit far in my opinion though thats the only thing... 136 miles from me and no guarantee itl be a winner... heres another though that is quite local from where i am. (im sure id be able to knock a bit off the price though!) http://www.autotrade...s/200?logcode=p Looks ok, think it's a non GT mind, therefore the price is pretty high. The pictures don't do it any justice either, it would benefit hugely from a good detail. If you're going to pay top money for one make sure absolutely nothing needs done to it and that nothing will need doing to it for the foreseeable future Yeah I know, all the ones that I can find that are GT are abit out of my price range or too high milage for my liking! 80/90+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Dan what is your mileage preference? I bought mine a 53plate, 60k on the clock - £6300 FNSH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Looking at some of the prices on auto trader these cars seem to vary massively, it looks like the prices have went up recently actually? When I bought mine there were several low-ish mile 04 plates up for under 6 thousand. Have you checked the for sale section in this forum?

Anything under 60k is okay, for the right price with all the service history etc, pain in the A*se is that im waitin for my current car to sell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren350 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I wanted a low miler and ended up with a 117, 000 miler as it had FSH and the exact spec I wanted. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan350 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Slightly off topic, just tryna work out weekly cost (roughly). 200 miles a week to work, 80-85% motorway at a steady 70-80mph, would 60 quid a week cover that? (For fuel) Excuse me if its a lame question just wanna work out some rough figures lol Edited February 11, 2014 by Dan350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah easily. I do 50 Mile round journey a day for work. I managed to do 150-200 miles on £30 before, when it was a week before payday and times were tough 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Don't get me wrong, at time it does drink fuel, if you're having a stressful week or you need to get some where fast, you will see that needle move I've done like a full tank in 2 days before etc. It's just about how you drive, and if it's town or motorway.

Dan350 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah course, thats expected though, but during the week to and from work I never really rush, I work nights at stansted aswell so m11 is always clear, the more I can save during the week the more I can afford to enjoy the car at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLott Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What abut this for £7,000? Immaculate inside and out, low miles... Sell me your bumper first mate Back on topic, I personally would probably avoid buying an 11 year old car with 20k miles on the clock. That's less than 2k miles a year, it's possibly never been on a long journey in its life! Less chance of it being warmed up properly too!
