Might be worth a punt for someone. Higher mileage though

Bangernomics at its best!

Provided its gearbox is still all good and has received regular scheduled oil and filter changes, I reckon that car could be a bit of a steal. We know the 350 is capable of covering very high mileage. There is one out there with 400k miles under its belt.

To have covered this mileage, this car is likely to have been reasonably well maintained. An OE suspension would need to have been re-bushed at least twice to keep the car going in a straight line. What we have here is a 17 year old car which has covered around 10k miles per year. An acceptable average mileage with hopefully a full book full of service stamps. If I were in the market, I`d certainly be tempted for just £1500. These cars are not that difficult to keep on the road so assuming the car has a long MOT and no serious faults, I`d take a punt on it for the money.
