Dnk Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't see the point in buying one and hardly using it, if it makes £14k then its cost approx £26k in depreciation to do 19000 miles !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yeah. And surely all the rubber bits that have hardly been used will be perished and need changing anyway? Hoses and stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think with a car that's barely done 1000 miles a year you'd need to be careful and have a very good look before you handed over £14k for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 glad you chaps think like that it has the same milage as mine if you put a "0" on the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If it was a bit nearer i'd go and have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yeah. And surely all the rubber bits that have hardly been used will be perished and need changing anyway? Hoses and stuff too. If you've got that amount of money to spend on the car, you could spend another £2k recommissioning it with new hoses, bushes etc. There are plenty of higher mileage cars around for someone that wants a daily driver. For someone who wants something a bit special, for a few weekends a year, this would be fantastic.

Havard Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't really subscribe to the rubber perishing argument, consistent heating and cooling will have that affect anyway. If the car is used every few weeks for a run then it "should" be fine. If it's been sat in a garage for 5 years then that is a different matter. If it wasn't for two or three events year, ours would only do around 1500 a year. Maintenance is key as always but the SH should give you some ideas. H.

scott87 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Am i the only one who thinks that it doesn't look that immaculate? Or is it just bad photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The photos are pretty poor to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Am i the only one who thinks that it doesn't look that immaculate? Or is it just bad photos? Poor photos, bad lighting, misted headlights and Kerbed and unclean wheels. But the body looks perfect from the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm i would be worried why it seems to have had 'heavy' use at some point but then was just garaged or something? Maybe im just sceptical about low mile jap cars. Personally i'd want at least the 50,000mile jap run in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then never drive the bloody thing Though you may then be able to sell it in a few years with 25k on the clock and no issues with rubbers etc. for £22k having enjoyed it in the meanwhile...

Zeiretto Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 My N/A automatic also has 19k miles. Didn't pay anything near that amount though, but it's not a twin turbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been drooling over both of PB's UK manuals the red one and the white, to think the red one is the one mentioned above is a little.. Off putting to say the least!
