We didn’t get a chance to give it our usual treatment, but now it’s back (due to horrendous insurance premiums for its previous ‘millennial’ owner)
UPDATE ! new CLUTCH fitted ITS READY to go
AERO front bumper fitted. Replacement wheels. Supercharger serviced. Clutch replaced. Full-on seats out deep clean. The list goes on. Please see the CARS FOR SALE page for more.
Mileage
We all do it, an obsession with ‘low mileage’ now we're not talking about Classic Aston's or Bona-Fide Concours Cars that live in a heated cocoon, we're talking regular everyday moderns.
An 18-year-old car covering a modest 8,000 a year should be on around 144,000 by now. That car has been driven, used regularly and very likely got to temperature all the components have had the oil reach them and ancillaries like the brakes and suspension had a chance to fully warm up and operate.
The low mileage one has either spent a lot of its life doing short journeys and therefore not warming up before being stopped, or it’s just spent a lot of time sitting about.
All cars ‘sweat’ that’s condensation and moisture building up, what happens with no air-flow getting around to dry that off ? RUST The Arch Enemy.
We walk away from too many low mileage ones for this very reason, we'll take the one that's been used regularly.
Sadly all too often REST = RUST
