Totaly agree, would never buy a car with that kind of mileage. Im freaking out cause my MK2 180 just hit 70,000. Ive never had that kind off mileage on a car before. The day i collected it it only had 3500 miles on it, was the demo car at Castle bank Street MG before it got knocked down.

Sit tight, you always find what your looking for when your not looking for it.

All our cars are getting on now, just have to look at Jags and Mercs about the same age.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-C...item2326476b2e

lot of motor for the money and would hate to guess what the first owner paid.

Think our cars are worth what we are willing to pay and keep paying to maintain them. Get a good one to start with and keep on modding!!!!

Worth every penny. Ide gladly pay that for it. And i looks better as a hatch. Because the hatch is slightly shorter it makes the overall car look fatter, and more aggressive stunning

haha, mileage is just a number. Mines on 130k and has never run better! Like the Mallard, not too tight and not too loose, just right. Then again, it does have an L series in it

Very fresh when you bought it then and probably still is if you have kept it all of its life. Funny you said that last comment actually lol (I will reveal later!)
