going to view this car at 2 pm today.

it has mileage of a 110000 miles.the person who owns it works for kia,so it has been serviced regularly.will it make much difference with such high mileage? the car was used by a kia rep before he bought it hence high mileage.

It'll be fine if well maintained. The Hyundai Alpha engine is a tough little thing, well proven (it's been around since 1992 and was based on the even older Mitsubishi Orion engine that's been around in various guises since 1975).
Interior is likely to be a little tatty at this mileage though.
It's cheap enough though and I can see it being a useful runaround for some years to come.0 -
i have only seen the interior in the pictures looks ok,but will find out more at 2pm.the car has now only got 3 months mot left on it. so they may let it go for £1100 but if they put a years mot and tax it for a year it will be back to the original price of £13000

too many miles for one of them0

Too many miles for a one litre car, too expensive for the year and mileage.0
-
110,000 miles would be low mileage to me.
Add another 20,000 and the price plummets and puts off a lot of buyers.
But i buy bigger cars, They are a lot cheaper. But dont cost a great deal more to run.
Will that 1100cc engine do 60mpg at 70mph?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
well went to see the car,it only has 95000 miles i made a mistake with the milieage it was from another car i was looking at,has a fsh,the woman who has the car works for kia as a mechanic. so i bought looks great,interior spotless and the husband showed me all around the car and it drives very well,paid £1200 for it as he will mot it for a year and tax it as well0
-
Seems reasonable to me... would love to see all these 2006 Picantos for much less than £1200.0
