    Is a 99 V70 auto est with 250k worth 700

    It looks good in the photos, but I thought for the miles it's a bit much, as I've saw a couple with less miles for the same cash, I know the seller might come n go....just wondered

    To be honest, even I would be quite hesitant about buying a car - any car - with that kind of mileage, unless its to be a project/toy. Even with great maintenance, its likely that any component with moving parts will be worn and needing replacement - I'm thinking of the alternator, starter, aircon pump, PAS pump, steering rack, gearbox, diff, bearings etc etc. And thats from me, after having just bought a V70 with 173k up lol.

    700 what? Pounds, Pence, Euros, Cents, Rupee's, Dollars, Baht? (just teasing).

    I always say, something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it!

    I guess from you two say, it's to much, I thought it was but wanted other opinions, thanks


    James yes you're right...I was looking at T5's again but the few I saw (auto est's) are all miles from me

    Stick with below average mileage with fsh history & you'll be laughing but I would never buy another car with over 180,000 miles again after my volvo. It would of been a much better experience if I didn't have loads of little time consuming jobs & then the big jobs.
