High mileage diesels

scwazrh

I'm looking for a jeep for work and I am struggling to find something suitable for my budget.The main problem is I was hoping for something around 80,000 miles but majority of jeeps I can find for sale have 100k , 110k and up.I don't want anything older than 07 and budget is €8-9k .

Am I mad to consider a 100000 mile jeep?

no mileage on this but looks good. as long as its serviced wouldnt worry about high mileage diesels

Mileage shouldn't come into it but if it does drop a year to an '06 one and you might get a better deal. Same car from '06 onwards. 2008+ probably have a premium because they're on the cheaper tax although I'm not sure on that one.

I've narrowed it down to a pathfinder or pajero. I've missed out on a good pathfinder but majority that I can see are over 100k miles in that price range.

Wouldn't be too bothered with miles. It's the type of driving. If it's been 100,000 farm track/towing miles, it'll be fairly tired. One that's never left the motorway would be fresh in comparison at 100k miles.

70000 miles would surely do it within your budget for cash

I'm not sure miles make much odds to a jeep. I spent a week in a Landcruiser lately with 200k + miles and it was rock solid.

Far better to look out for a good model, in good nick and go from there.
