Yes...although my pug 306 DTurbo was a complete dog for a car with only 85,000 miles...constantly breaking down...:o

If the cars done a lot of miles I wouldnt go for it...only reason being the resale value would be low as when you start getting into the 100,000's its a big put off for MOST...

Personally I would'nt like a high mileage escort, even the low mileage ones feel tired, let aloone the high milers.

tap tap tap tap tap :o

Only kidding, im guessing its about 98 so about 9yrs old?? Its not going to be in amazing condition & 91k is about average for that year. Just go look at it if it looks/drives suspect then walk!!

Depends on the make of car and service history? What car is it ?


Mark330d

posted on 28th Jan 07 at 17:59

depends on the car, if it was a fiat, renult, etc with 91k i wouldnt touch it, if it was a bmw, audi, volkswagen vauxhall then i would be fine with it if it had been looked after.

Obviously the higher the mileage ,the more engine wear , but what exactly bothers you about it , if at all ?

Reason being I'm looking at a car on 91k :boggle:
