Looks like this one received some attentions but the mileage is putting me off
I never had a car with such a high mileage, I was after a cup with no more than 60k would you get one with 90k miles?

 

[Stefan.]

as other will say, if the history is backed up with service/belts then what is the problem? and its got good tyres and brakes then you are laughing

 

[Matt W]

Looks tidy (apart from the standard steering wheel melting). Daves pink trophy is on about a million miles by now, so 90k is no issue for those engines.

Makes me want one again tbh.

 

[Italian_Job]

Cool
Ill make sure its backed up with a good service history,
Cups over 80k mileas are quite cheap now

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks ok, know what you mean about the miles. If you have doubt now it will bother you even if you buy it.

 

[JoshOm3]

Re sale value and wether its been looked after would be my biggest worry. My 182 just turned 122k the other day, doesn't bother me as I plan on running it into the ground and breaking it for bits.

All depends on what you want from it at that Kim of miles IMO.

Good luck.

 

[Italian_Job]

Had a 28k miles 182 for 2 years and no one problem, just wondering how tired a 90k engine would be, that's it
Im not hugely bothered about the high milage just concerned about putting up witha car that randomly breaks down
But I guess thats down to service history and the attention it received in the past

 

[MR.172 Cup]

What are you planing to do with the BG 182 Italian_Job?

 

[Fletcher]

As long as it's been looked after, 90k wouldn't bother me at all.

Is that the one on ebay?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Id rather have that one at 90k with all that work done than one at 60 that hadnt.

 

[Budgie]

AHHHHHHHHHH.

It's done 90k, it's about to die.

This isn't 1990. It's not a Mk3 Escort.

My driveway a couple of weeks back consisted of Dave's 182 (with 187k on) and my 106 (with 175k on). Both great cars! I can't remember the last time I owned something sub 120k.

[Keyser Soze]

My Cups on 42k and needs a load of jobs doing!

 

[Italian_Job]

are you selling it?

 

[roland rat]

Mines nearing 100k and TBH its as good as it was when i bought it on 70k.yes ive done a few bits likes shocks and brakes but thats wear and tear items that will need doing on anycar

Id rather a well loved 100k car than a 50k car as they are getting to the age where things go wrong not due to mileage but age etc

 

[suttle172]

Yes it is mate

 

[Fred@BTM]

My V6 is high milage and i know you would buy it

 

[Don]

172 Cups are getting towards 10+ years old for the first ones (52 plate)...so 10 years at an average of 12k wouls be 120k for 'average' mileage. My Cup seemed to be getting stronger as it was hitting 100k...but didnt get there...was 500 miles short when she was sent to petrol heaven.

Dave's 172 Cup is on 118k and still getting hammered around tracks too

If it's got a good service history and well looked after it'll last ages
