milage

hexagramer

maybe its been asked before so my apolagies as its a common thing when buying a car

i just bought a fiat cinquecento for 580, im very happy with it, as i need a car asap,

its got about 180kmph on the clock, very high i know,

can anyone just tell me how bad this goes against me? having high milage.

580 euro and it drives?

How bad can it be?

180 kmph ...that's kilometers per hour
do you mean 180,000 km or 180,000miles ...or something entirely different?

Whichever one, it's still very high for a very small car! :eek:

If the car is in good condition and has no current issues then I don't see the big deal. Just be aware that certain parts may wear out and the car wil be more likely to need money spent on it than a lower mileage car. But for 580 euros you can't expect too much. BTW 180k kms if that's what you meant) isn't extremely high mileage if the car has been looked after by previous owners.

sorry i ment, around 180.000 km and yeah, having a car that drives kicks ass! so as long as it aint that bad i dont mind!

hexagramer

i get ya, what parts could possibly go on it? its in great nick!

The NCT cert should give some piece of mind if it has one.

Personally high milage wouldnt deter me from buying a car, i'd base the car on its merits, rather than the ''What ifs'' driving a car with 175K miles and its still does 100MPH* on the M1 not a problem.

Yeah mileage isnt a big issue for me. My 97 Safrane only has 86k but the 97 Peugeot Partner van I just got has 173k. Both drive like a dream.
