Mint low milers not so mint - 01/11/2006 07:06
I have looked at a number of Coops recently that have been advertised as "showroom condition"... "one owner".... "best example" all low milers
Well... I was shocked.
Rust, accident damage, bodged repairs, poor re-spray. Can it be that difficult to find a genuine car that has been chrished from the day it was registered? Apparently not.
High mileage is definately not an issue and I have to agree with CarlT.
There are far better examples with high mileage than these so-called "low milers"
Don't get me wrong, if the right car came up and I mean "right car" not some clocked piece of tat, I would buy it "regardless of price"
I'm just throughly pi**ed at travelling all over the country to look at something that is not correctly described in the ad or on the phone.
I expect something near concours given the descriptions.
You have to look hard though, seen one stunning coop with the back end re-built in fibreglass.... very cunningly disguised.
Rant over
