200k Miles in 31 Months

Always amazes me these high mileage young cars
Would love to know who buys them and what problems / things they need to replace over the next 3/4 years once into "normal" 10k miles per year ownership.

In 1991 I bought a 2 year old Ford Granada with 100 K miles - I ran it for several years and then passed it to my father who had it for a few more. It was finally scrapped after a bump in 2001 - 12 years old with 180 K miles on the clock.

Oh - and the lamp post came off worst...

Apart from oil, brake pads and spark plugs all it needed was a new battery and a new exhaust.

The exhaust was the original one until about 130 K miles - and the car still had the original clutch.

Repmobile . Nothing new . 70K pa

I did the same in rubbish vans in my youth . Properly maintained , such a car won't be a problem .

My 430K W124 was a great car .

The quote on the wall in photo 5 is classy. Surely it's not difficult to find a spot for decent images.

Isn't Bradford George Galloway's patch?

BTW that IS a decent spot for Bradford.

Love the unlimed warranty. Is the car a lemon??

With two drivers sharing it, the mileage isn't unusual on airport runs.
