Hello,
This is my first post, so hello
I wanted the expert's opinion on a car i'm thinking about buying. I need to get myself a cheap estate to do some donkeywork by Friday, I'm close to pulling the trigger on one I've seen, it is a 2004 2.0 petrol Auto exec with near 150,000 on the clock. It has a FHSH and recent rear bearings and front discs/pads. It's up for around £1400ono and is very local to me. Also has 12 months MOT. My plan is to run it for around a year and hopefully sell on
Now i'm not usually one to shy away from high mileage cars, having bought cars with 170 and 180k respectively. The only thing concerning me is the auto box. Are they known to fail on these cars? Or even the engine? Anything I need to look out for? From the description it seems that it has been well looked after, but I'd just like to hear some opinions before I make any kind of commitment.
Thanks!
