Is this a bit rich ?

How is 5,600 kms too low in 2 years? It's not to low. My wife has done just on 11k in 4 1/2 yrs as she just drives to work and back which for most of that time was not far away.
We may find that to be a ridiculous amount because we love our cars and driving them (I avg 1000+ k's a week) but i know people who don't enjoy driving, does'nt mean they can't own a car!, i know of a guy who traded in a 6mth old lexus cause the new one had bluetooth and he wanted that(more money than sense). My sisters car has not done more than 200k's in last year and a half as she has been overseas. Not checking out what could be the lowest kilometer live axle discovery that you'll ever see would be the mistake if your after one of that model.As for being $10k over priced that's what negotiation is all about.But until you check it out how would you actually KNOW that it was a lemon or a really good, under used vehicle.

I am with Garrycol on this one a D3 would be much better value and for not much more. That price is way to high for what you are getting, regardless of the km's its not worth that much given the D3's arrival and the fact that it only has 12 months new car warranty on a car that has barely been run in.

Wortho has a point,,
untill you SEE the car,,
all bets are off.

**Ace** · 11th June 2006, 06:55 PM

A fair point but i would want to knock a fair bit off the price before i would consider shelling out the cash, low km's or not. matt

I guess we should be asking what this model was new, is it a bells and whistles HSE? Matt

NOZ,
How is the car hunting going which way did you go with the black TD5.

I sold my Honda CBR1000F because I only did 800km in the 12 months before I sold it.

It was just too much hassle to go for a ride. It was too hot in summer - I'd start overheating as soon as I zipped up the leather jacket - and too much hassle to have to take a change of clothes and shoes if I rode it to/from work (I wear shorts at work but I wore Draggin' Jeans on the bike and they are far too hot to wear at work even in winter).

Ron how many KM have you done in your car?

Not driving a car ie. low km could also be a bad thing .
Engine and other parts would not be lubricated on start up , rust would develop on metal parts .
Why do you thing taxi's get 600 to 700 thousand km or more on same engine!
(they run nearly 24hrs always hot)

Way too much money on that one, considering I was offered $26000 as a trade, granted its not an SE and its a V8
