Hi
I hope this forum may become a place of longterm interest soon!... I'm looking for a Disco 3 and have a question if anyone might care to give their views?... please.
Basically I have a max £16k budget for a general workhorse, I have to deliver a few boxes now and then for my own business but then to double as a family truckster at the weekends. Not too bothered about spec but would like (wipe clean) leather and of course diesel auto.
My question is re high milers for sale... what is a high miler for a 2005 or 06 in your opinion and do you think they are worth buying subject to condition?
Is there anything that I should be wary of?
I'm going to look at an SE 05/55 (independent dealer) supposedly in v good cond 93k on the clock full service history and new tyres for an asking price of £15850. Does anyone have any opinions on that price/milage maybe?
My wife thinks I'm mad considering a car over 60k miles for that money but I try to explain that these big diesel engines can handle twice as much as the average Ford Focus! She says I should buy a G Cherokee of Toureg with less miles for the money! (different cars I know!)
Any opinions welcome. Would be great to hear from you?
Thanks in advance. David, Twickenham.
