High miles, but you could buy a spare with the change!

Had a look at one, but not really all that keen.

My comments were based on these examples:
1- 53 Reg A3 100K-ish. Loads of electrical problems, each costing hundreds to fix. MOT bills over £500 for the last 3 years. Car is not used much.
2- 54 Reg A3 120K. Alternator went leaving driver stranded, £600+ bill. Turbo went, stranded again with £500+ bill. Other little probems in to the 100's with all work done at mates rates.
3- 07 Reg A4 with average miles. Engine blew up costing thousands.
4- 06 Reg A4 100K. Loads of little problems with parts costing a lot. Lad at work does the work and is always over the pit.
All these examples are friends or work mates cars and are treated well with proper servicing. Wouldn't have one given now.
