Well you wouldn't want to buy one with 19850miles on the clock.

I guess the previous owner got bored, or something happend.

Some people dont do big mileages - we've only done 2500 miles in ours since last october.

Sounds like a great car and buy

It is 3 years old, under 10k is rather shocking.
why would you not want ot buy one with under 20k miles on it? its still way below average.

Sounds like a bargain, how much were these new?

Morthoseth · 13 Jul 2007 at 22:02

I didnt have a thing about the mileage, i was concerned myself until i asked, the car was a PCP (I think thats what it was?) orginally, and the guy didnt actually take the time to drive it that much, he finished the lease at that mileage, handed it back and it ended up at Fords of Windsford, it comes with all documentation, and reports about the previous owner and all sorts.

He has moved on to a Merc C class now, a new lease

22,000 brand new, this one would have been 30,000 with the options it has

It's rather low mileage which would worry me a bit but I guess some people dont use their cars very often. Can't be that good for them surely.

Having said that the 530i will probably cover about 5k over the next 12 months.

Morthoseth · 13 Jul 2007 at 22:27

i would have preferred it with around 25-30,000 - but for the money, this particular example has absolutely everything i wanted, in the right colour, so i wanted to snap the offer up, really

I've been thinking about the low mileage, but whats the worst that could have happened, its coming with warranty left over, 12months MOT and the next service (12500 miles) free

Anyone have any reccomended drives or locations to visit in wales? Looking forward to taking a day off driving on tuesday and i'd like some opinions on places to go - Since i have hardly driven anywhere in my current car!
