Re: Really want one but the mileage is putting me off

I'm not that arsed about high miles... it's just these are a lot more expensive to fix (I presume) than my previous cars.... not like you can just mince down to the scrappy and pic up a second hand turbo + they look like a oh fiddlesticks! to work. My 306 was reasonably tight, these look even more so.

Anyhow I've always fancied the tdi 130 s wagon :) lovely cars, but everywhere I look people are wanting silly money for them with silly miles, like £2000 for one with 160k+ on them. Just wondering how long the engines last in them a...
