i wouldn't buy it.. especially with 93k. :\

and you can't get an '01' plate, it would be either Y or 51 for 2001..

Thats a mid-high price. With 20k less miles (70k) and the premium package you can get one for the same price. If it is over priced it's only going to be by a couple of hundred pounds so if you like the car and it's in good condition/good runner then I'd say go for it. I would advise you to find out more about the premium package though as it could be a good extra that you could get for the same price.

I don't think 93k is alot, tbh. My sister's 2001 VW Polo 1.0 has done 103k and it's still like brand new. My dad looks after it well. It don't even have any scratches... anywhere! Completely solid.

My sister's car also has full service history, so that's why my dad got her it. If this has a good service history, I'd say it'd be fine.

Tootish, the condition of the exterior/interior of a car is obviously quite important when you are looking at cars with high mileage but what's more important is the engine and all the other mechanical things :s. Depending on how the car has been driven, a high mileage car could or could not have a healthy engine which is why you should get an AA mechanic to come out and do a full check on the car before you buy it. If any parts have not been replaced over a certain amount of miles and are semi-worn out then after a few weeks/months of using it you could be wishing you never bought it.

And a VW is more likely to age better than a Toyota.

Let's just say I was had when I bought my car which showed 42k on the clock :rolleyes:.

My old car had 124k when I bought it, sold it at 140k, current car had 64k on when I got it a year ago, now has 91k Racks up quite quickly tbf and mine's a diesel. On a petrol engine especially the mileage has a lot to do with it. Trust me, 90k is a lot. Next car I get won't have more than 60k on the clock.

Right, i think im gna try get a 70

The engine is completely fine. Just before we bought it, at its last service, it had just over £1,000 spent on it. It's also had a bomb spent on it before this. Dealer maintained too.
