Hi all, I've just got rid of my Leon Cupra R and was wondering what next when I discovered the 6 MPS. Originally I was looking at 3's but they're too much money. Here's my problem though, so are most 6's, however there are a few out there around my kinda money but they're 90000m+ what are these cars like for that kind of milage? Will they do that again no prob or is that coming to the end of its feesable life? Also what common problems should I be looking for? Sorry to mither, but if anybody knows the answer to these questions it'll be you guys. Cheers in advance for any an all responses and the moment I bag myself a car, I'll do a full introduction to myself and the car. Thanks again, Kris

My 6 is at about 145k miles, does 100+ a day as my daily driver and runs nicely... it's down to personal preference but so long as the car is looked after and serviced correctly it can be perfectly solid for years...

90k miles really isn't a lot for any car, especially a lazy mzr engine.

See I know 90k is nothing if for instance it was a German diesel, but this would be my first venture into beasts from the east. All replies are appreciated as it'll all go towards finding the right car. Cheers

Just do a bit if reading on here to learn what to look for. find someone local to you and check their cars out to see what's what.

Yeah, there will be plenty low milage pricy examples on the market that have been thrashed to death and a lot more likely to have issues,
than some cheaper high milage well cared for beasts...
just check out the forums buying guide's and keep an eye for the usual obvious common complaints ;)
