3200 for sale again

[safrane]

I think milage is a very touchy subject. When I was selling my 2003 car in 2011 with 71k on the clocks there were plenty on here more than happy to comment on its 'use' despite £20k of recipes on maintenance and a full major service from Emblem compleated that week and a peefect main dealer and Emblem history every year. Sold the car for just under 13k...to a non forum member and the forum missed out on a real peach.

Great to say miles is not an issue but most will only buy sub 50k

Well it would not (and has not) put me off, as long as the car had been looked after andmaintained etc.

I have seen it happen more than a few times where people pay a premium for a low mileage garage queen that turns out to be a real money pit due to lack of use.

You need to go in with your eyes wide open when buying something a bit exotic.

Look at Phil's car priced well and sold within a couple of hours and that was leggy.

When I sold my XJR a while back, it had 160K on the clock and drove like it was a youngster, it had been properly maintained through it's whole life..!!

If the car is that good its amazing that he wants to sell...load of tosh in the description written by Ali G

 

[allandwf]

That advert description is hilarious, not sure if intentional or not.

That's brilliant - I notice the mileage has gone down yet again, and the price has gone up!
