Am I crazy to consider this car?

Hi. I posted before about looking to change my Toyota Aygo for something a bit bigger now I've a second baby on the way. I only have the trade in value of the Aygo, no spare cash, and as it's our only car can't really risk selling it privately and be carless.
I can across this ad and was wondering if I'm right to be a bit wary given the mileage.

Can't speak specifically about a Note but the mileage isn't THAT high.

I have a '99 1.4L Almera at 175K miles. My father has a '02 Mazda 323 at over 200K miles.

Adding more miles to that might make it more difficult to re-sell (the two cars I mentioned above are being driven into the ground at this stage).

But that car is a 06. I'd say stick with what you have or save more for a better example. You buy that car and it'll be worth half what you paid for it the minute you drive away.

Thanks for the replies and confirming what I thought. I wish I could wait or save more but baba 2 is due in April and really don't think I'm getting 2 carseats in the Aygo and saving isn't an option at the moment. I've seen other cars that are options.

What age, mileage, condition is your Aygo in? Engine? Might be interesting to see what it's worth.

It's an 07, 72000km on the clock, it's been regularly serviced and just do standard type driving so the engine is probably good. I've seen similar selling on carzone for €4000
