Very Low mileage L322

Charles Banbury · Feb 23, 2017

L322 3.0 Td6 2003
I am looking at an L322 3.0 Td6 with a mileage of 56k. It has had only one owner and a full service history. With this mileage I am concerned that the gearbox will fail at the golden 80k mark. Am I being stupid? Also what else could be a potential problem area (I am talking big things I can work out the basics) 7.5K is that reasonable? Any advice or thoughts gratefully received.
Many thanks.

perhaps buying a warranty,is a good idea,for peace of mind,happy motoring.

That's a lot of money for an old L322, but you might be able to keep the box running for another 50k if you get in and do a good fluid change on it.

Well over priced

I paid 7000 last May for a 2003 L322 3.0TD6 with 100,000 miles up so I dont think the price is unreasonable

Looks like a bargain then, quick check on the bay shows anything from 3k to 9k regardless of miles

I knew this when I bought mine........I work at a car sales and nice cars fetch a premium in

we find nice cars in outstanding condition fetch a premium , for example I could have bought a 2005 model for 4 grand instead but chose not to

If it were me I would be avoiding that like the plague and finding an MY06 petrol or MY07 Tdv8 for not much more money. Miles better machine with a 6 speed gearbox.

Much though I love mine, had I known seven years ago what I know now, that's what I would have done.

Enjoy

Remember pics or it didn't happen. What did you do in the end with the P38 and 650i? Did you sell privately or trade both together against it? I thought about trading mine last year but I've done so much work on her that 1, as she is almost new under the skin, it wouldn't be worth buying a newer second-hand vehicle, just to face someone else's issues along the line and 2 I am still in love with her. So problem child or not she's staying

Well here is a picture of her...

650i went last weekend to a new owner, my P38 is still here at the moment although I took a deposit on her last night so I'm hoping she goes on Saturday. Collect the S/C on Tuesday, but I've also just put a deposit on a 330ci as a track car, not got a plan on when I'm picking that one up yet but perhaps Sunday if I can find the time!

All sounds good. Wishing you many miles of happy driving

With the current shift of DIESEL IS EVIL! I'd probably take the running cost hit and get a petrol one instead. As I can't imagine it'll be that long before there are some sizeable fuel duty hikes on derv.

They are growing on me to be honest! Especially with Tonga Green, makes it look even more classy... I looked at so many that were Black/Silver/Grey and although they were nice it just had a whiff of the street pharmacist about it. And with my line of work I don't want to be encouraging that! I believe its a fairly bad job to get them of as well.
