What you both should be asking is, Does The Boss smoke pot?

EDIT: Janner beat me to it.... I was trying to type & eat my pot noodle at the same time see....

£35k for a pre-facelift = must be smokin' pot

it could turn out to be a problem car.

Low mileage like this could mean a bit of re commissioning due to lack of use.

I have experience of under used cars and it can be more trouble than you would expect.

Brake cylinders, master cylinders , anything rubber can harden and perish.

Has the engine been started and stopped without properly warming up ? . Could mean excessive bore/ring wear.

oil changes , how often ?

Brake fluid been changed , could be full of water.

Corrossion comes in yearts as well as miles !

IMO a lowiish mileage reularly serviced car would be a better buy.

And if it started to cover more miles would it be without issues ?

Changing oil, filters etc does not make it a good car or stop the deterioration of certain parts.

As is said often here these cars take high mileage without problem , so what advantage is a very high priced low mileage car?

the other problem is that if you accept it is OK , what can you do with it ?

If a car is worth £25K with 5000 miles , it will only be worth that if you do not use it, once the mileage increases the value goes down to a sensible level.

This type of car is IMO only of interest to polishers and museums, and purely of interest to others

Still like it, because you'll never find another one.

But good luck to the seller if this realises £25k. With a lottery win behind me (I wish!), I'd maybe, just maybe, got to £15k max just to pull it out of the garage every week to polish it.

This is often the case with premium priced almost new museum mileage cars. How could you put any serious mileage on it without a catastrophic drop in values? Collectors only imho
