Newbie - Mileage Q

[AndyS3]

Evening all

Apologies for the username I set the account up in a rush and I've just sold my S3!

Im looking around for a 325i Sport at the mo and I just wondered if there are any probs going for a car with high mileage? Is there a buyers guide on the site that I havent found yet?

Cheers in advance

100,000 Miles for a M20 Engine is nothing, at around 250,000 Miles i would think about it....

Cheers fellas, that was quick!

My mate has one with 170k on the clock and it runs like a dream, I just can't get my head around it!

Much appreciated

My 325i has 160,000 on the clock, and even with the cracked head, it still pulled well.
It all depends on how hard its been driven......

With 170,000 on the clock i would not be too concerned. the proof will be in the driving !!!!

We've recently come back from a trip to the ring in his one, I was supposed to be getting a cheap runabout, doh!

Im over 250 on the bottom end. and never missed a beat.

If it got back from the ring with no probelms, then the engine should be fine.......
