So I've seen a hdi I'm thinking about buying as a general run around for the next 12 months or so. My gf drives one and it is going fine on 170,000 plus atm.
The new car is in average condition and most niggles I can sort myself. I haven't driven it yet but will be tomorrow.
It's on 216,000 miles (which does concern me) and up for £790.
However I have got him down to £700 and £650 if I part ex my old sedan.
It started and sounded fine today although there was a slight diesel knock compared to my other car.
Rust, rear Axle, electrics etc look good.
Does anyone think £700 is too high for the mileage? I will obviously drive it and see how it goes before I make a decision but should I be looking out for anything?
Crank pulley, lift pump, cambelt issues in the future...
