All aboard !

The 2nd SB that Matt has seen in Cambridge is probably mine & is serviced at the same place as the 100k one been discussed. It always looked in good condition for it's miles & looked after properly

People worry too much about fag packet stats. Milage is just a number, granted there's a strong correlation between milage and wear on a car but don't get too hung up about it.

As for Bealo's, it looks like good value yes, but as for the warranty it runs out in a few months, and I believe he is not paying on instalments meaning when the renewal comes up as it's over 60k it will be something like £2200 per year which I doubt many people would bother with.

Also I'm not sure how good value Bealo's is, the add doesn't cover any of the following:

Tyres - how much tread?
Brakes - when were the disc's and pads last replaced?
Clutch/flywheel - has this been replaced? (if not it's imminent)
Bodywork - Has the front been resprayed recently?
Wheels - any curbing?

The above could add probably £4-5k to the purchase price to put right if it all needed doing. I have no idea if it does or not but i'd defiantly be including these points in my add if they were all plus points.

When I first went to see my CSL there were 5 other at Simpson's, most of them less than half the milage of mine. I looked inside a lot of them and paid close attention to the bodywork etc. Mine was defiantly one of the best as it had just had all the common bit's sorted and the interior was very good condition due to the motorway miles.

All im saying is a car is only worth what someone will pay, and I'd have to see a car and inspect it before I could say how much id pay for it. I don't see how people can say i wouldn't pay more than £xxxxx for it... it could be a dog or the best one you've ever seen regardless of the milage.



Now crack on with the man trains.
