    Advice needed

    I have found a car near me located in quite an affluent suburb in Melbourne's east.

    The car is an 05 SE, auto. The service history is outstanding (all done with LR specialists, ritter for the last 80,000kms), full books and receipts to match. Receipts are even highlighted throughout in colour coded highlighter representing what was a major service etc. It has had its air compressor updated to the model from the d4, sump upgraded, transmission serviced every 90,000kms and been looked after really well in general.

    I drove the car and all felt smooth and nice. My issue is that the car has travelled 240,000kms. Is this too much?

    I haven't bargained with him yet so not sure what the car will sell for but what would you say it is worth?

    appears to be a reasonable price to me, 240,000kms shoudlnt be an issue if the servicing is 100% and the transmissions has been taken care of (i.e. upgraded sump from X5) and see if when the timing belt was done if the oil pump housing was also done, not sure if this is an issue on an 05 though, mines an 08 S.

    No pictures as of yet but here is the ad. I ended up getting it for $18,500

    High mileage but the service history is spotless, as is the car itself

    It seems like you were lucky and in the right place at the right time Paul. You appear to have done rather well - that Disco looks to be a ripper.
