Hi all, I am currently driving an 8 year old VW Polo, 1.2L Petrol, Manual transmition and 50,000 Miles. Unfortunately I seem to have rotten luck when selecting a car to buy, I have owned this one for about 18 months and have had constant electrical faults with it. I am hoping to really run it into the ground before I get rid of it, however should I need to replace it, I was thinking about going for a change in tactic and looking at slightly newer cars.
I was just looking for a general view on how old and how many miles on the clock the 'least' mustachian car that would still be a mustachian option. I have to have a reliable car for work, however I only do around 6,000 miles per year.
To throw in my two pence I was thinking 3 years old, and 35,000 Miles on the clock. Is that to decadent, or not, or just about right in your opinion?
Also I know it can depend on the make or model of the car, I am just looking for general guidelines out of interest. :)
Thanks all!
