potential buy advice needed please

[greyhound]

Hi, am looking advice from your good selves on buying an 07 GTI. Its for sale at £7k, but has 99k miles.
I currently drive a Beemer 330d with over 150k on the clock, but its the miles on the GTI that concern me. Is that too high a mileage to be considering? Its different with diesels because theyre more built for it in a way.
Any views or verdicts please?
Cheers, Jeff.

Seems a bit overpriced.

wouldnt be botherd about milage personally.

as long as there serviced and well looked after most engines can go for well over 100k.

however i would say its a bit over priced

Hmmmm thanks, will go and have a wee test drive in it, and see if i can beat the guy down in price a bit. Am sure he'll come down a bit to be able to get the sale.

Negotiate on the price first. There's nothing worse than a time waster who drives your car, puts miles on and uses your petrol to not buy it because it's overpriced when they knew this from the start.

Not a bad buy for the money, aim for £6500 if you can.

Think about it this way the likely hood is they are motorway miles so has done long journeys and been used well but as said if serviced right it's a sure thing personally I would go lower than 6500
