• Forget what the car is valued at, what's it worth to you? My personal view is that when I have a car I like for whatever reason I will happily pay to keep it running in top condition. £3 K doesn't sound like too much if you keep an otherwise good car going.

    My particular kink is french hot hatches and I recently sold a really good one I loved. Bought a modern, safer 308 GTi 270 and it does absolutely nothing for me. Not a patch on the older 306.

  • Sorry you got rid of the 306 that was great. Yeah that’s how I feel about it, but the option of changing it for a nicer version of the same car seems both sensible and desirable. 57k miles v 135k. Better the devil you know and all that but I do now have the experience to know what to look out for. I’m going to arrange to view it this weekend.

  • I didn't even realise you meant you were looking at the same car but a better one... I'd assumed a newer model. That makes sense now, I would do the same. In fact, if I ever find another low kilometre 306 GTi 6 I will buy it.

    I mean 135k is a lot of miles on a car regardless of maintenance.

    Obviously your current car is a known risk. But still it's hard to think that it's not going to be a series of repairs.
