How do E85's cope with high mileage

Post by jlp123 » Tue Jun 20, 2017 4:28 pm

Had an 05 2.2 from 67,000 up to 129,000 miles. Only had to change bushes, brake pads, front calipers and a headlight bulb. Everything else was perfect until the day I sold it. Roof motor has never been changed. These cars are pretty exceptional all things considered. Just make sure the one you buy has been looked after and you should be fine. Don't worry too much about mileage.

Looking forward to gaining this sort of mileage in my new Coupe :D

I reckon you should link high mileage cars to a mature woman, a mature woman who looks after herself can still give you one helluva ride over a younger model..............errr or so I'm told darling Mrs Fox :cry: :cry:
Mileage like age really means nothing, I've seen low mileage wrecks & high mileage beauties! As long as she's been looked after, my money would be on fsh, nicely used/high'ish mileage one & there are some bargain hi-milers out there!
