Haters will hate, but its an improvement on how I last saw it with AC mirrors and 'those other rims'.

They ho's love it m8.
Looks better than the OEM rims imo.
Yes but it wouldn't look right unless white and you'd need an import for that to happen

Someone is touchy that my old Italian car was more reliable than his solid as a rock Japanese car...
You also wont see a Celica in a museum unlike your Alfa
Not a massive fan of the GTv but love the V6 those pipes and the sound.
I really fancy a 156 gta or a GT v6

Excellent... Lowish mileage, high spec, and free. A good trio.
Dunno if that was tongue in cheek or not...is 100k+ miles considered low these days?

100K miles is pretty low in a diesel Passat of that age, on average.
On a semi related note, my old Polo 1.2 is still going strong, current owner apparently just took it past 160K

Its just under 110k miles. I consider that very little these days!
My Saab has 186k on the clock, and thats a petrol
Its overdue a splosion by at least 86k

"Sorry father in law, I can't take this free vehicle you're giving me that was maintained properly as it was a company car because it is above 100k miles. Frankly I am disgusted you would even offer me this"

Not questioning the 'free'ness of it. Just weird how people call 100k miles low. For that car it might be average...but not 'low'.

Haha, I had similar sarcastic thoughts!
"Whilst the offer is very generous you don't need to be so cheap" *tut*
"....what do you mean get out?"

Depends on what you're used to and your expectation.
With the exception of one car I don't think I've owned a car with less than 50-60k on it. And every time I've changed cars it's had well over 100k on the clock (if memory serves anyway). To some a car with over 100k is a no go. To me, providing it's been maintained and looked after I'm not bothered.
If I had had to buy the car from him, my money would have gone elsewhere. But it was completely free and there is nothing wrong with it. We had the opportunity to trade it in against something else but took the smart root to keep the cost down
We both like and want something else. So hopefully this will last whilst we work, get settled and save up.

I'd say it totally depends on how it was maintained
I've seen cars that look/sound horrible and have 30k on them and cars that look and sound great with 200k + on them.100k miles on a passat is nothing tbh.

Just checked my dads old company car that he got rid of at 110k and it got changed to a pool car
Not bad! Looks like it must have gone bang some time that year though

I don't think anyone could describe a 100k mile car as "low mileage" and keep a straight face.
30k is low mileage.
30k is low mileage.

Typical BMW parking

Relocated before going travelling.
Here diesel is typically anywhere between 10-40 cents per litre cheaper than petrol and lower road taxes.
So yes, diesel very much makes sense here!
Loads of hills too, so torque needed
