What car question

The message from "WebMonkey" contains these words:

What's wrong with that? An exact round number is just as likely to occur as any other number.

A Primera is a big lump of a car to be hauled around by a 1.6 engine, so I wouldn't bother myself. However, Primeras are very good, reliable, if a little dull. SLX trim will give you loads of toys.

You say it's your first car, so I wouldn't spend that much. My first car cost me £5k, and I crashed it. Got it repaired on the cheap, but that was luck more than anything else - a quote from Fiat was for the replacement of all the panels on the driver's side of the car. A few degrees difference in the impact with the central reservation would have written it off. Taught me a lesson - never spend more than a grand on a car!

You probably wouldn't be interested, but I have a dirt cheap MkI Primera for sale at the moment ;-)

Call me a paranoid bastard. If you find an advert which says 58K mileage woudlntyou expect the actual number to be 58767 or summink ? It just didnt add up to me. I did read a forum called Parkers forum and found that laguna's were not reliable.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I have seen the pictures and found that the car was a bit big. But all i want is a reliable car with a fair mileage. Thanks for your offer but somehow i feel like splashing on my first car than buying a dirt cheap.:-)

Maybe OP should have test driven it a few miles and come back in a few days time to see if the mileage had gone back to 37000? Now that would be suspicious.

My car was advertised on the Toyota website as having 21K on the clock. When I first saw it in the flesh, it had 19.5K on it :)

And some bastard with one hell of a crick in his neck had driven it 1500 miles in reverse!

Well on almost any modern largish car anything under 35K a years a fair mileage.

It would have taught me "don't crash"!!!

Only if it's a reps type car.
