Horses for courses Phil and, TBH, it's not a problem for me to admit I owned one. It was one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned but not one of the best.
I read an article about a guy who only buys cars with high mileage. he reckons he gets a good car for less money, and that in a modern car , modern engine, they are good for many more miles than previous generations of cars.
got me thinking , as I did'nt disagree with his logic.
I bought a new ford XR2 in 87. swapped it in 96 with 198k trouble free miles on It. I swapped it for another ford, 2.0 scorpio estate. I did 325k miles in this untill the gearbox seal went in 2002.
So, do we put too much importance on mileage ?
simon........tell your mate he needs a hobby
interesting topic - I think we do - apply the logic to people - plenty of old healthy people, and plenty of young unhealthy ones - good genes (model), regular check ups (service), exercise (driven right) and a good diet (OEM, oil and Super) make a reasonable analogy to cars - likewise the fact I've only run about 20 miles in the last 10 years doesn't make me a "better buy" than my mate that runs 20 miles a week
Keeping cars when you buy a new one is a great way of dealing with it. Gets a bit of a problem in the end mind.
