Obviously someone that enjoyed driving it, rather than putting it away till shows and weekends arrived.

High mileage cars get to be that way because they have proven to be reliable, and in my personal experience they are more often than not, a good purchase.. :lol:

In a recent chat I had with Brain at Dreadnought, he reckons the engine will continue to loosen off upto about 80,000, so 110,000 is not a lot. I regularly put 6 figure mileages onto cars over a 3-4 year period and (touch wood) haven't really had any real problems, mainly I think because the cars are running hot ie hot oil, hot exhaust, hot coolant so you don't have condensation and moisture lurking, and a car doing a lot of long runs does not wear the same as a car doing a lot of short stop-starts.
From the photos, these both look to be decent clean cars and at that money either is a lot of car for the money. Must confess I'm tempted to buy a spare !! :lol: |

Mine is coming up to 90,000 with SuperCharger for the last 12 or so.
It was doing 20k a year but now will be a fair bit less but still years of life in it The brakes were the only things needing some immeadiate attention Worn out rear disks, NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- hand brake, failing front disks (Mintex which were delaminating and warped) possibly due to a sticking front caliper from rust damage. Now the brakes are well sorted again I can start dealing with some cosmetic issues 40k or 100+k same rules apply provenance and condition followed by close inspection of what does and does need doing. |
