If you're referring to a very well known forum car
then it would be circa 40K

Only one springs to mind with that mileage

£30-35k

At least £35-40 I would say. If mine went up I'd probably go for £39995 and see who bit.

How many miles has yours done ?

[Chappers]

123500, but it's had quite a few new bits of late.

Excellent what are the things you can expect to go wrong as those cars rack up the miles . Just wondered how much one might need to budget for engine and suspension wise ?

Couldn't tell you exactly right now because I don't have the service history folder to hand but I had the camshaft failure last year that a few people have had and ended up doing a load of preventative maintenance while it was waiting for them to arrive, so it's had new main and big end bearings, VANOS refresh, oil pump refresh (both just ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt), head gasket, I also changed the valves, stem seals, lifters. Yes, it was expensive but...

This is all because I went on track with a leaking oil cooler though, I would say, rather than anything mileage related. Obviously a few on here have had exactly the same thing happen...

As for the rest of it... rear springs, bushes, steering wheel has been recovered, the mirror leaked at some point and it had some SMG work under warranty at around 110,000 miles (I quote, from the engine rebuilder, "the gearbox all looks brand new inside") if I find anything else I'll let you know.

Usual age related stuff too, it's had stonechips done on the front probably more than once, windscreen has some chips in it that I need to fix.

Other than that, thanks to the warranties it's in utterly amazing condition for the mileage.

£35k, 92000 miles.

Well that's not going to help Matt's cause or the steady price rise is it? Absolute bargain for someone.
