If it drove ok and had service history, id still consider it.

100k isnt a lot of miles if its all motorway stuff.


Just bear in mind when you come to sell it, others will be as nervous about the milage as you are now.

So id want it priced WELL under market value to consider it personally.

what was the 100k made up of - motorway or trackdays etc. any mods, boost increase etc?
suspension/bushes could be worn as its a pretty hard ride

I would mate, as long as its got good history i cant see it being a problem.

i know selling it would be harder, its a very good price, as most i have seen are closer to the 12k mark with 50-60k on them

i really need to see it in the flesh to make a decision but was just wondering what parts would start to wear after this sort of age. is it new turbo/gearbox/clutch time etc.....?

Wear is as dependant on type of use as milage.

100K of motorway miles and all the things you mention will be in better nick than a 20K one that is thrashed reguarly!

dont even think about it... its wrong wheel drive

if it was cheap enough i'd be tempted if it was a car i was serious about buying, as it wouldnt be my daily drive so i'd be binning the standard stuff for some aftermarket goodies so the wear and tear wouldnt matter so much.
