ThermalP4 1 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Found a nice VR6 in the colour that i want, but as always, the mileage isnt right.Its got a full Service history with only 2 owners but its got 140K on it; and the guys wants over 3k for it.Comes with Black Recaro interior with Porsche cup alloys also.Is the miles a lot? and how much should i be paying?

mark@vagworx 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 It's quite high but not too bad if it's been well looked after and serviced regularly. I suppose £3k ish is about right looking at the present market. Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Minty - btw.....love the avatar 140k is quite high but it does depend on whether the mileage is mostly motorway or stop and start mileage. Like Minty ssaid, if been properly maintained then there's no reason why it shouldn't do another 100k. My old 8v was on 180k but drove like a car with 80k.....

acf8181 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 check the serive history carefully to see thats it been well maintained. also the cam chains and tensioners really should have been changed at that mileage (it is obd2 so not as critical as an earlier car, but even so the tensioners could well be worn by then).i'd say £2750 max myself.

apd 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 test drive it?let it warm up first,see if it misses a beat.check all those perishable parts.one last thing-be very cheeky about the price as cash is king! Link to post Share on other sites
bigvw 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 mine has 140k+ on it and goes likea train. It has only had one owner but the miles were all motorway and oil changed every 3k miles with mobil 1. Link to post Share on other sites
kobi 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Like everyone has said, 140k shouldnt put you off buying a VR6, but just make sure its been maintained properly.Only having 2 owners from new helps. But bear in mind, if the engines done 140k then so has the box, clutch, exhaust etc etc.£3K is too much IMO. More like £2.5k max.Or for another £1k, you can have mine P.S, theres one in the classifieds - 1 owner from new, low miles for £4k ish. Personally i think thats a bargain.
