Hello
I'm looking at buying my first multispace and i'm not very car savy. I've identified a couple of options and I was wondering which you thought sounds the better bet. Both these have FSH and look in good condition with full mot and are diesel VTRs
09 plate -only 35k miles 2 owners £5500
2010 plate -105000 miles - £5000 (new cambelt will be fitted on sale)
Do these prices sound ok? Generally is it worth £500 for the fewer miles on the slightly older car?
Any input would be appreciated, is there anything I should look out for on these models?
thanks
Arron

The lower mileage is good for the price the higher mileage is slightly high price and you might try to knock them down a couple of hundred. Lower miles always adds value.
So where does this bit go then ?

I have a MkIII 1.6 diesel VTR myself and I am very pleased with it.
That said, are you certain that a diesel is the right option for you? They can be troublesome and diesels are going out of favor. Although the current vehicle excise duty and fuel consumption make them look attractive, repair and maintenance costs can soon wipe out any savings.
My next one will be a petrol.

If the 35k miles car has full service history then go for that, I would. Best case scenario would be annual service which should be carried out regardless of mileage & correct oil needs to have been used. Main dealer Fsh should ensure that. There are plenty of Berlingos about in that price range with average mileage, I certainly wouldn't go for one with 105k miles.
