| [Wanted] Mint low mileage D3 wanted will pay up to 13k |
|
I have cash waiting for a mint fsh sub 55k D3. Must be an Auto with cruise, and ideally Tonga green or black but will consider other colours for lower mileage.
Must be genuinely mint.

Why the hunt for low mileage? They don't like being not driven 05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

Agree I drive high miles D3/4 125k+ they get that far for a reason - good sorted well looked after and driven cars with a new lease of life and most have had all the necessary (likely to fail) parts replaced by then so parts wise they can be oddly "low mileage" .

Mine has done 140k, but I have receipts and oil has been dropped 18 times in its life.
It has had diff and transfer oil changed 4 times, a new TC and recon box at 120k and all the ususal maintenance.
I would take that over a 60k car that has been sat on a drive all its life not going anywhere. Plus I have chains so no issue with large service 05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

Thanks All,
Have put a deposit down and am picking up a nice car tomorrow... will post up when I have her home! I understand all of your comments about them not liking being sat, and that high mileage cars if serviced can run like new, but I have found a lower mileage car that I am happy with and that I know has been looked after very well.
Thanks for all of your help and comments,
Ben

Still on the hunt. Drove 200+ miles to see "the mintest one in the country, best one in the country" (d3 up for 15k). Right old nail, onward and upwards : )

I think you need to reconsider your mileage. I don't think low mileage = mint car 05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

It wasn't the mileage on that one which gave me the impression it was a mint car, it was the seller convincing me it was a mint car lol! Have upped my mileage to 70k, and budget to 15k. If I can't get a mint d3 for that I'll have to take up another hobby... Am looking at a clean looking and sounding d4 on Sunday with 59k and up for 16000 £1 notes so fingers crossed the planet's align and I may be in a d4 rather than my beloved Tonga d3 : /
