Yes - high MOTORWAY miles

But full & i mean FULL service history with 1 owner

The guy sometimes does 350 miles a day with work, but with fuel prices hes just bought a mk6 GTD

The car is very high spec, drives like a dream

& if it had average mileage like 50-60k with the spec would be around £8.5k

Personally , Id rather keep £3k in my bank and enjoy a  well maintained car with a few more miles.

It will keep me happy for a while,

Well it has got tax til March next year   :smiley:
