The mileage is largely irrelevant given that a low mileage car can be poorly maintained for years and be in far worse condition than a high mileage, well maintained example.
Agree I have a c220 with nearly 150000 on it but I get it serviced every 6 monthes
Facts
I can totally agree. I had a 1998 Opel Omega B/Vauxhall Carlton with the 2.5 liter V6 and only 96000 km and it was awful. Now I got a 2001 Caravan with the 2.2 liter L4 with 247000 km from my grandpa and it is a dream.
The mileage is largely irrelevant, BUT it helps to clickbait so it s all good
@@motor-werner1989 Those are rookie numbers mate... Sitting in a 2004 Audi A6 with 430000 km (actual is 460k, because odometer was messed with at some point), and have less engine and transmission issues then most people with way lover numbers. Pitty the electronics are falling apart, and that is entirely because of being old as fuck.
The milage on the car isn't the issue, it's how it's been looked after. You could by one that's barely been driven and end up spending way more making it good again, so don't be put off.
Best way to buy cars like this is from an enthusiast who's kept every receipt over the years to show they've given the car all it needs, and never done any daft mods. Buying any car from a trader who's job is to make profit is a risk..
Depends what dealer it is. I own a dealership and spend money on the cars. But the price is after that.
Agreed!
Most new German cars are not sold to to car enthusiasts, they're sold to badge enthusiasts, and those people finance/pcp a car they can barely afford the monthly payments on, so they skimp on servicing/maintenance and then you have the famous phrase from TopGear "the fastest car is always a rental" so basically 99% of these cars have been driven like stolen from new, so they're all f**ked.
Facts my 90k miles z31 is in worst condition then my 250k z31
Dude had OEM spark plugs in my 88 the 86 got treated like someone’s dayghter
my 2013 c350 has 124k on it and drives like it's brand new off the lot. Both me and the 1 previous owner babied it. I want it to last another 2-3 years then I will get either c43 or e coupe. Only thing that had to be replaced so far is power steering pump. It was making a small noise that I knew wasn't right so I had it replaced before it got worse.
Second hand Mercedes C63...always ragged...hardly ever looked after, and usually owned by people who can't afford to run them. The car gets cheaper to buy but.the parts costs never do. I had a CL 55 AMG..I bought it high miles and never spent a penny on anything that wasn't fluids or filters and usual things like brakes and tyres. If looked after properly a high miler can be the bargain of the century !
Most performance mercs are bought by criminals or wannabe "gangster" types who either can't afford to maintain them or don't care. Same with performance BMWs the drivers always a 20s something with rings and baseball cap wannabe rapper type.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 that’s so factually wrong, but go ahead with that thinking haha
Every time I see high performance a c63 or BMW M3 it's always driven by some 25ish year old drug dealer looking type with a baseball caps on backwards,lots of ring's and basically dressed like a mid 2000s rapper. Just my experience
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 and every Dodge Charger and Challenger owner is a drug dealer. See, I can make crazy assumptions too haha
@@JacesOwnWorld I don't live in the US so we don't have dodge
High mileage does not have to be a bad thing. It all depends on how the vehicle has been looked after.
I'll rather say that vehicles with low mileage for their age are risky to buy. Because they may well have been used mainly for short distance driving, on an engine never up to operational temperature. This will have worn out the engine.
I wholeheartedly concur with you. Nothing worse for a car than not being used enough. I think cars that have racked up big miles in the early years are the best, like fleet vehicles when that mileage has been racked up alongside proper servicing.
Well said. I have a 1992 740 Volvo with 495K miles on all original drive train. I trust it to drive cross country tomorrow. I live in the United States and most of my trips in it are more than 2000 miles each. It has never left me stranded.
@@12yearssober , I always knew you were alive and on the run.
@@12yearssober Im pleased to know that your Volvo has treated you so well. In fact I think the highest mileage car in the world is a Volvo. I knew that you didn't really commit suicide in prison and I hope you are hiding out on an island with lots of lovely girls. Yours sincerely, Prince Andrew
No
I’ve decided to keep my 2005 Mercedes rather than “upgrading” to a newer model full of sensors and computers. They were made to last in 1990 and the build quality has got progressively worse since then.
Quality improved alot from 2010 don't know about the latest one but W212 gen was good. 2000s had reputation for rust and electrical issues.
I had a 2000 USDM Civic coupe and it really was the "sweet spot" for electronic control and reliability. Just enough sensors to control emissions and basic things like timing advance to keep the engine running well and with the possibility of diagnosing faults with just a cheap OBD scanner. My 2009 Mercedes is impressive in that the diagnosis software can even test engine compression! There are too many sensors though, lots of possibly false information that can set you back when diagnosing faults. MB went through a serious bad patch in the early 00s and 2003 was a real breaking point and they then tightened up build quality a lot
@@psions555 I've been driving an A207 E class cabrio for the last 9 years. Great car no major problems usual service. Still a great looking car IMO
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 A207 cabrio isn't a great looking car at all. It's an absolutely STUNNING car😍 Look after her and enjoy it 👍🏻
I have a C200 CDI Avantgarde Wagon and it’s built like a tank. I had a friend in Berlin who had a 1991 W124 which had done over 1,000,000 KM and was still going strong.
Bruh.. AMG literally stands for 'All the Money is Gone'
😂
I had my Jaguar XJ from 15k miles kept it till 110k. From 15k to 80k zero bills other than servicing but from 80k to 110k cost £7000 is repairs. I kept it thinking oh I serviced it all these years and looked after it, it should be fine. Things like Cat was blocked need cat fitted. Petrol gauge not working....OMG was like £3000 because you can't buy the fuel sender it only came with the whole fuel tank. So for me I buy nothing with more than 60k on the clock and aim to sell by 80k.
All of the higher mileage cars I've owned have been better than the lower mileage ones,many low mileage cars are on old original parts whereas the higher milers have had these parts replaced.
I follow a guy in Florida, Rainman Ray, and you rarely see a car with less that 150,000 miles and a lot of them have over 200,000 miles with no issues. Even small engined cars like a 2018 1.5 Honda Jazz with over 100,000miles on it ran like a sewing machine. I think a lot of people buy a car, any car, then just don't service it. When it gives them grief they get rid and pass the problem on. A well serviced and maintained car will run forever. Great video...
It’s just been serviced so hopefully you’re right 👍
Only just started watching and can’t help but feel Lee saying hopefully we don’t get a massive bill is some savage foreshadowing 😂
Replaced this on my audi last month, mine was rear left that went bad. I tried to replace it myself and couldn't get the old one out, eventually with force it broke into two pieces, with the plastic sensor still stuck inside. A trip to the mechanics to get the job done properly and it was fine, didn't need to replace both sides.
Also, I bought mine from eBay, it was Bosch branded and cost £10. Audi stealership wanted closer to £100.
I've had my b7 rs4 for 6 years now and I have receipts for 15k in that time. It's only a summer car as well. Even though its an old car they do cost big money to keep in top condition. I'll never sell it though 😁
Yea, you should keep it. It will probably only grow in value since it’s almost considered collectible new timer / modern classic, naturally aspirated v8 and 6 speed manual gearbox will always be a desirable combo
Or just buy a Lexus ISF...mine is 2008 and I've had it three years. I've never seen a warning light or had anything to do outside of routine maintenance. The leaky water pump was replaced under warranty. Such amazingly well build cars.
@@MD-uu5nt is that your daily thought? My rs4 isn't.
I know it's getting on a bit and has a few faults but that exhaust sound is worth it
springs and shocks must be changed in pairs , no excuses
I'd check with Mercedes-Benz to see if you've got paint protection warranty for that rust. Looks like you've got an airbag recall outstanding too
Pretty exotic cars are like pretty exotic women. They take all your money and leave you stranded most of the time but they are fun to drive and keep most lads coming back for more.
Also both require a lot of maintenance and tend to be passed around and mishandled by the previous owners.
It all depends on how it was maintained. Low mileage and neglect can be far worse than high mileage with impeccable service history. But if you want reliability forget the euro made prestige badges and go for older Toyota or better still, Honda cars. We all like BMW and Mercedes, but unfortunately unless you’ve money to throw away, forget them.
Great video, beautiful car, just spray some ACF50 around the electrical connections, will help keep any moisture out in the long term.
Remember lads, it ain’t an oil leak, it’s just sweating power!
My 2012 Renault megane estate had 274000 km when I bought it last year . Now it's 324000 km and still going good and never had a problem. Service it every 10000 miles.
I jut bought my lowest mileage car at 130k miles (210k km) from 2016 this week. Swapping from my 250k miles or 400k km car. I dont mind the mileage as long as its had good miles.
Id much rather have a point A to B long rides car than a car that went to the shops and back without ever being driven "correctly".
I live in Sweden though and when I talk city I talk in the city centre, like manhattan in NYC etc and not the suburbs you guys have in the US. way different road conditions.
My dad taught me from the age of 17 when I passed my test, don't buy high mileage cars. Find the little old lady round the corner with a 10 year old car which has only done 30K miles, just run in, serviced exactly when due, and you will have a car for 10 years with no trouble. It's not so easy to find when you are looking, but patience pays off and you will have very cheap reliable motoring.
I've been trying for a while to find an old lady with a low mileage AMG 63. Can't find her.
If I found a low mileage AMG 63 of some sort that was owned by some old lady and only has gone to the store and back I would be scared to own that car. These were designed and built to be driven and if you don't drive them, they will fall apart. Not to mention, anything that hasn't broke by 170k miles was designed to last a long time and anything that has broken has already been replaced. Don't fall for that trap, these aren't your dad's old analog muscle cars. The last AMG's that were built like that probably were the convertible CLK 55's in 2006 or anything that used the M112/M113/M113k family of engines.
The W204 is one of the better modern Merc platforms. I recently bought a 2009 C200 Sport CDI with 216K on the clock and it runs beautifully. It has only needed the rear brake shoes adjusting and a new thermostat. It will need new front brakes in the near future but it is perfectly usable as it is. I'm lovin' it. Mileage is irrelavant as long as the car has been looked after. My W204 had a laundry of failures on the last MoT but I've seen clear evidence that the work has been done so I'm happy that mine has been looked after despite the mileage.
Bought a 76k mile mercedes. The owner had it serviced at mercedes since new. There were a lot of things to replace and repair however. And the dealer quoted about 8k dollars and that wasnt even all the parts covered. Had to pull it out and take it to a trusted mechanic. Even then we had to spend 2.7k dollars on the parts and repairs and they couldn't even reset the ESP. Had to do that myself
I wouldn’t worry about it too much
I’ve seen 63’s with half the mileage showing worse symptoms
My wife’s skoda superb 250,000 on the clock drives like clockwork.
If i suggest changing it she just why it runs perfectly.
Only work has been to change the near side door harness a common VAG fault.
I've got a b7 special idtion. I drove one brand new when I worked for Audi. Years ago And this one drive like she came out the show room!
Those B7's were special, Audi decided instead of creating something entirely new to just tweak and perfect the B6 Generation. My old 2005.5 B7 S4 was rock solid too.
I sold my e46 325ci with 160,000 miles on it and it passed it's M.O.T first time round with no advisories. I had that specific car for nine years. The guy who bought it still has it and he committed to buy it without even seeing it. The advert showed all the receipts for parts and all the service stamps from the specialist. Mileage is irrelevant. It's maintenence and how it's driven from cold that's everything since nearly all engine wear takes place from cold starts
4:40 - Ben on a night out after a few drinks 😂.
This car hass been 5 times around the globe , what do you expect ?
In the past most cars needed a total engine and gearbox rebuild IF their body's were not rotted away already !
I have owned 70s and 80s cars that did 3 times around the globe and fell appart .
I guess we are spoiled nowadays !
You guys should know, German cars are made for new car buys, dump them before the warranty finishes up. Someone that worked at Audi should know this.
Abs or speed sensor as it’s known will cause havoc with auto boxes as the gearbox uses the info to know when to change gear……. Wifes Mondeo would get stuck in gear and was the rear right sensor. Would also cause cruise control to not work
I bought a w205 with 96k and it just works perfectly because it’s been looked after extremely well. The problem with AMGs in particular is people buy them but then don’t want to spend the money on maintenance
Depends on the engine. Diesels last a lot longer for several reasons including diesel fuel itself is a lubricant so 200,000+ on a maintained one is nothing. 200,000+ on a high performance petrol engine stay well clear unless money means nothing to you.
“I know that just standing here that the cars knackered” 😂😂😂
It's all about the life of the car not the mileage.
You could have a low miler 10 year old car on 40k, that has only been around town and never properly heated up... nothing but problems and premature wear.
I do a 70 mile a day round commute, in a 2011 R56 BMW MINI with 140k on it, and engine that doesn't really get to this mileage due to timing chain faults etc.
A key to a reliable car is don't thrash it until the oil temperature is hot enough. 60°c for a BMW vanos engine.
Change the oil, filters and spark plugs every 10k
Check oil and levels once a week.
MOST IMPORTANTLY preventative maintenance and fixing a niggle before it becomes a problem.
It will last well in excess of 200k before becoming uneconomical to maintain...
Great to have you back. Hope you're enjoying the road trip
I think high milage is a problem, cause the wear and tear of the parts. Even if the car is well mantained, you dont change every part when its used. E.g. an used steering gear or the suspension parts may be technical alright, but you feel of wear and tear is present. On the other hand a car thats has sitten too long is not good either. But I general i would prefer an older car with lower milage to a car with lots of miles that is younger.
After owning about a 100 cars .. I totally agree with u.
Lovely car. I miss mine but had countless problems with it. It was in Mercedes being fixed more than it was on the road and in the end the rough running resulted in me selling it to webuyanycar. It only had 62k miles and Full Mercedes History as well. It was jerky pulling away from a standing start, someone mentioned it may have something to do with the injectors? Anyways I have an M235i and as an all rounder its brilliant and in 9 months of ownership not a single thing wrong with it ;-)
Old mercs are the best mercs.
Meaning pre 1980 that never needed plug in scanners.
Ya if your not a mechanic, def stay away from high mileage. But if you can do the work.....I purchased an S5 with 120k miles for about 16k less than one with 50k miles. Pretty good price. That 16k will instead be used to replace the connecting rods in the 4.2L and rebuild it, the clutch packs and input shift in the ZF mechatronic Trans, front suspension components, and a brand new engine harness. Doing all the work my self comes out to about 15k in parts. No point in buying a low milage car just to replace all the OE parts with aftermarket stuff lll
If any car has known problems you are taking a step in the Dark
Buy a High mileage MB with full MB Service history
My Clk 220 CDI Excellence practically in marked inside and out £3900 in 2016 has now done 250.000 miles with no faults it was 218.000 , apart from tyres , now on second set just a few minor repairs like pads and steering boots .
Recently replaced front coil springs due to hazardous Speed Bumps in my area .
Cost £ 3900. 00 in 2016 , annual Oil Change Shell X from new
Did the wheel speed sensor fix the gearbox issue? Or was it something else?
It did mate yes 👍🏼
Calvin ain’t that kind of guy, that’s the problem with buying high mileage cars
THAT USUAL LIGHT WAS ON, ON THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE DASH AT THE END. GOOD VIDEO GUYS 👍👊
Mine has the same problem 😂👍
Customers like you are a dream come true. Loads of money! Don't you even own your own scan tool and can't you even service a car or something. Wow. That was child's play
Did that wheel speed sensor sort the box out
Yes mate 👍🏼
Totally agree. Only buy low milleage cars with all proper maintenance up to date.
Actually i was always better off with high mileage cars, most major issuer were allready fixed (at least one time) by the time it got to me. Every one of them were also pretty reliable, of couse most of them were so old they didnt even had ABS, but thats besides the point
Prerequisite... No hair... That got me! Great informative video. Well played lads! Hope you get many happy miles out of that beast. Have you driven all the Alpine A110's - stunning drive!
The cars going to be mint when finished keep going lads
My friend got 440 000 km Mercedes E class 1.8 Petrol ,the thing is it was MAINTAINED . It runs and sounds like a new.
Lexus 350k plus I have had several with not a dash light illuminated
my high mileage fords have been very reliable my previous Mondeo had 225k on the clock owned it 8 years, current daily is a 2015 focus on 130k miles drives fault less both ex hire cars only had to replace the battery and alternator wear and tear items and give them a yearly service
High mileage is mostly an issue with modern cars as they're too expensive to fix, cost of repairs way exceed the value of the vehicle, for a good vintage car i could easily spend 200 usd on a used high mileage one and spend 1000 to fix it because i know it will serve me for decades to come, well worth the investment, cars of today are appliances.
To be fair you buy the cheapest and high miles cars with little or no real knowledge or experience so what do you expect, but that's what give your channel it's brilliant viewing content. Buy something new that has no issue and what content is that bringing? ,looking at the new stuff you have on the drive and all quite boring with a limited aspect of alteration as warrant and finance restrictions. As far as the Merc goes it will have all the same inherent issues of that marque, costs can be cut by experience and savvy parts purchase which is what gives you good content as you learn about all these vehicles.
My 97 honda accord has 467k miles , been taking care of that baby been doing premium care on it. Once it hits 500k im pull the engine apart and refurbish it. Highmilage is not bad at all just need to know what you doing
Also enthusiast owned doesnt automatically mean best looked after. Enthusiasts are more likely to do regular burn outs, launches and track days at shows etc.
Love the video, good how you don't panic about all the problems found like most people do. As we all know the garage bill can be a scare but its all about looking after the car. 1 bill is better than many. Keep it up👊🏽
If they dont always empty oil fully.. they probably over filled after too. good meechanic this one
that impression of them putting the seam sealer on .. im fucking gone hahahaha
You just bought a bad car mileage wasnt the problem previous owner was
Yeah mate that was exactly the problem 😩
you should get an xhp stage 3 map on the box lads. made all the difference on my bimmer which had a zf box.
Glad you're spending a bit on the AMG its a really cool car and sounds ace!
the beat German cars were built around 20 years ago
For toyota or lexus there's no such thing as high mileage but for most cars high milage shouldn't be any issue as long as its been kept good, maintenaned and any major work done to it so that you don't need to do it, my uncle has merc E class 2015 amg edition fully loaded when he bough it car had around 34k miles and now its at 205k miles and car still looks mint as same as when I saw it at 34k miles it's all about maintenance and how car has been driven etc I look at the paper work, service history, condition of the vehicle and what has been done to it also see what kind of owner it had there are many things to cheak out because you could buy a car with same engine with 70k miles that might have issues or damages were else same car with 170k might be alot better
Calvin saw you two guys coming 😂 A trade sale, well done Calvin 😂😂
It cost the low end of the market, calvin dont drive every car as a daily. Dont see how it was his fault. Evil gt at least its giving you content 👍🏾
problem with buying high mileage cars things will start to break and need replacing, the plus side we get more content and the lads can upgrade parts
@@F1ham it wasn’t. I was clearly joking.
There is 2 types of people who own high mileage performance car.
First type. He had it from new and has been driving everyday on long distance roads on steady speeds up to 70mph and has maintained it well over the years on repairs and services.
2nd type. He thrashed the shit out of it on traffic lights. Doing his 0-60 then will Lend it to his mates to thrash, then sell it before it creates s problems for him, the next person does the same hard acceleration, once he notices problem he we look for cheap repair or flog it cheap.
Depends on the price. I buy old high mileage cars for $2000 or less. Sometimes they last from 5+ to a couple of years. Then to the trash it goes.
My slk done 154k miles, nothing wrong with it, all a out regularly service. Some cars done low mileage and cause more problems
Digital cars, high mileage, sensors getting older, computers with issues, ground wires with corrosion, bad grounds, water leaks on the just mentioned. highly tuned engines, turbos, more sensors, E-diff, software issues in 8 / 9 speed transmissions, buying one of these older digital models is bad enough, buying one without a warranty is Russian roulette. If it is maintained it s better, but still problematic. Worn front and rear suspension components causing negative chamber and wearing your high dollar rubber down to the steel bands (but only on the inside 3"), etc. I have tried this a couple of times. Not again. The pre 2006 more of an 'analog' type car did not share all of these exotic problems our newer cars seem to share.
I bought an 05 bora highline tdi for £50O, having been to the moon and back at 212,000 miles! A clutch, a turbo, a coil spring and rear brake pads for the mot later and its got 12 mths ticket and wil see me right through the next one..... And the turbo was my fault 😂........Like someone else said if your gonna buy a "cult" car it has to be from an enthusiast. Someone who has maintained it regardless of cost and has the presence of mind to keep the receipts and the service history for everything that's been done 🤷♂️ buying a car is a gamble regardless of where you buy it from nowadays..... You pay your money and take your chance 🤷♂️
Three words. 'Full service history'. If you have that then there is no problem with high miles otherwise don't touch with a barge pole. I had a lexus ls400 for 8 years. It was 2 years old with about 80k on it with full service history when I got it. It had 300k on it still with no problems when I sold it still with full history. Literally nothing went wrong with it other than normal consumables like tyres and brakes. When I think about it now, I realise it still plenty of life in it when I sold it and I can't remember for the life of me why I didn't just keep it. It would probably still be running fine now with 600k 20 years later.
I feel your pain with the rocker cover!! I got extremely lucky, I ordered my rocker from Mercedes’ when they said it’d be a 3 month wait, went on eBay that night and managed to get a brand new one! Got my refund from Mercedes, no more oil leak! Thank god
Hey there’s a rocker cover that’s just gone up on eBay, buy it now before it goes!!
Wrong.......if you know the car's history....and the "high mileage" was done all on the highway over a relatively short period of time ( example, traveling salesman or such), and the car is not too old...all can be fine. Under these circumstances....MANY mechanics look at these cars as having anywhere from 10% to 25% of the "real" mileage, as to condition. Brand of car is important too. In my case ( in USA), I bought just such a car with 155,000 miles, as an 8 year old car. A Toyota. I still have it....the car is 17-18 years old.....looks and drives "As New"..... and has 272,000 trouble-free miles. You can't generalize . Benzes in particular ( most German cars... OF LATE)...are horribly unreliable and costly to fix when "aged"....quite in contrast to how German cars were built and how they behaved several decades ago.
TH-cam recommended this video, I'm glad they did. Good British content is always welcome
The speed sensors on the transmission PCB are cheap and are completely doable. You can diy.
Rocker cover gasket leak is so common on the w204 c63 that garage looks like they know they're way round this motor I think you were in safe hands.
Brilliant production guys
These amg cars do cost a lot to maintain but they are very special and, in my opinion, excellent value for money on the second hand market. A lot of car for the money. Great video as always.
But you saying this in 2-3 years time?
All of mine are specifically high miles and always go for the ones with a extreme amount of service history, I've had low mileage cars that have been total garbage
ALL modern vehicles have a finite life. Anything over about 100,000 miles is getting to the stage, where there are likely to be major faults, which are so costly repair may not be economical. Build quality being poor, and electronic problems, apply to ALL vehicles though, and are likely to affect anyone with a vehicle outside of warranty.......
Well Lee .. high mileage isn’t a put of for me once it was looked after and loads of receipts ..❤️keep up the vlogs loving the channel
"Oh no I bought an old high maintenance powerful car with high miles and something went wrong if only I could've forseen this."
Ahhhhh that’s a buggar mate. If you’d have watched this video first we probably would have put you off buying it and saved you all the trouble
Nothing wrong with high mileage cars. The problem is buying shitheaps.
Thats what someone with a high miler would say
@@Storm.Z.4u My B7 RS4 has 62k miles on it. Over 100k less than Evil GT's B7 RS4. I stand by what I said. I've had cars that have had absolute moon mileage on them and not had a bother. It's all about how they are maintained.
@@BionicSammich 100%
Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!!
Synthetic fuel says “Hold my pint” and get ready for the revolution
so easy to clock them, cant do much about the interior though, either they looked after it or they didn't.
Hi guy's, I've had a few hi mileage cars, all been good 👍 it's the way they are looked after. I had a subaru impreza with high miles that ran for 5 year's, never broke down once. It cost me around £700 on a part exchange with a BMW 740i . Good 👍 look with the merc
A high miler with full service history is way better than low milage with little to no history
You should update the title and say don't buy high milage foreigns . After a 100k milage that's when things break down and cost $$$ . While you can still drive a Toyota, honda,lexus to 200-300k sometimes more if taken care of
Oh dear, I found this video too late, I've got a 334,000 kilometer old Toyota, a 308,000 kilometer old Toyota and a 234,000 kilometer old Hyundia. Problems to date, none, well that's a lie, the Hyundia has like 22 bolts holding it's engine under tray on that need to be unbolted and re bolted to do an oil change, the two Toyotas, none, not a single problem. You can have your Euro cars.
I may have missed it but what was the total cost of the repairs done?
In a very recent video mate 👍🏼
@@EVILGT you don't remember?

Hell my car is 300,000 miles, but I change the oil religiously at every 3500 miles. The fluids, brakes are done every year. I also just change the whole air-conditioning system in the car. Everything DIY, no issues. Still does not drink a drop of oil or water(radiator fluid) fingers crossed. I don't trust other people touching my car so I learned as much as I could.
If you buy a crappy maintained car with low mileage you gonna have issues soon.
You are absolutely correct...stay away from high mileage vehicles....the German ones...
Depends on seller mostly.
How much did it cost to put right ? Just the work done in the garage that u filmed ?
Collecting it tomorrow so I will find out 👍
