Second thread of the day but ahh well...

Everyone seems to be amazed that I want a high mileage car.

My Uncle just bought a 2008 Citreon C5 VTR+ with 22k on it. It's had to have a new EGR, ABS Sensors and now he's having DPF problems.

I can't help but feel that if he'd gone for the 2009 with 100k he wouldn't have had the issues.

You can't put up with the car going into limp mode or errors comming up on the dash etc if you are doing 100 miles a day.

My Dad's Volvo which is about to go back is 4 years old with 105k on it and nothing mechanical has ever gone wrong. It still feels like new to drive too.

Does anyone else think that low mileage cars are false economy?

Bailes.
