Buying a secondhand Rover Metro

And I'd still be buying that over the Metro without a second thought.

By the way, a low mileage car driven by a pensioner that's only done short trips is not a good thing, it's a bad thing, and when applying that knowledge to an overpriced Rover, it's a disastrous thing.

Don't ask me to find a better car than the Rover for £600. That's too easy. Ask me to find a worse car - THAT would make me struggle.

At this age though you are buying on condition.

Seven months isn't bad. If it doesn't have a lot of rot and there are no serious advisories on the last MOT I don't see the issue.

One owner every couple of years is hardly a disaster too.

I don't see the logic in buying something because of its owners/miles, either, especially at this end of the market. People like this though make me a lot of money sometimes though, so I can't complain......

If people want to hang on to old-fashioned concepts of mileage, I'm all for it, I'll sell them knackered low mileage cars all day long and charge them lots of money for the privilege.
