    580 euro and it drives?

    How bad can it be?

    180 kmph ...that's kilometers per hour
    do you mean 180,000 km or 180,000miles ...or something entirely different?

    Whichever one, it's still very high for a very small car! :eek:

    If the car is in good condition and has no current issues then I don't see the big deal. Just be aware that certain parts may wear out and the car wil be more likely to need money spent on it than a lower mileage car. But for 580 euros you can't expect too much. BTW 180k kms if that's what you meant) isn't extremely high mileage if the car has been looked after by previous owners.

    The NCT cert should give some piece of mind if it has one.

    Personally high milage wouldnt deter me from buying a car, i'd base the car on its merits, rather than the ''What ifs'' driving a car with 175K miles and its still does 100MPH* on the M1 not a problem.



    *PC POLICE FECK OFF!!!

    Yeah mileage isnt a big issue for me. My 97 Safrane only has 86k but the 97 Peugeot Partner van I just got has 173k. Both drive like a dream.
