Now the car is the 2000(W) reg model which means 13 years old and the seller reassures me that the only reason they are selling is because of a different car purchase ....

now I cant simply go and view this as I live in Swansea and the car in question is on the outskirts of London ...it cosmetically looks extremely well looked after and in the listing it states that it still looks drives and handles like new and that the car was previously owned by the wife of MFC Tuning

what do you think I should do???
is 95k considered high millage taking into consideration all of the above 'assumptions' are correct?

should I walk away? or do you think its worth taking a chance on ?

 

I just bought the same car but without all of the service records and because it is a 2001 has a bit of rust, I have said it is a big gamble but I am glad I did, I love it

 

I would think you could find a local independent repair shop that you could hire to inspect the car for you?

In the USA we can use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the American Automobile Association (AAA) to find reputable repair shops. As*well as forums such as this on the web. There should be some TT enthusiasts in the London area that would be pleased to help out.

Best of luck.
