Hi Folks,
As much as I love my P38 shes getting a little high on the miles now. Found a nice 68k mileage one in Aberdeen (Near me) but the guy was being a T><T so decided to body swerve it. I am looking for a low mileage DSE or higher with a good history. Please email with any known ones for sale.

Thanks

John

Mine has a super low 190k (or makes no difference) on the clock. Many miles left in her.

On a serious note though, it is a false economy to punt a a high miler (I don't count anything under 200k as high miles) to get a low miler of the same breed. The money you lose by selling yours and buying another plus the costs of fixing any hidden faults will cost you way more than just putting yours right.

Even a diesel would cost a fortune at 100miles a day
Why not get a v8 (there cheeper) and with the money you save get a 2nd car thats more economical on fuel?
that way the saving from fuel will pay for its tax insurance ect... And you have a v8 to play with at the weekend

I'm selling my 1999 2.5 and that's got 135k on it. Service stamps to 115k and then serviced and loved by me. I've spent a shed load on it over the past couple of years but bought a TD6 now so it has to go.
