It's really not that big an issue, but the principle is that I've verbally agreed to purchase it with 15 miles on the clock. It's now stated as 3.5k miles. In a years time the mileage difference will not be noticeable. So my question is whether or not I just suck it up or haggle a teeny bit more over the mileage.....

I'm probably coming across as though I'm having a go at you, which I'm not, but did you take the car for a test drive before you agreed to buy? If so, didn't you notice the mileage then?

By all means, you don't lose anything by pointing it out to them and being cheeky. Maybe you'll get a full tank of fuel? Maybe you'll get nothing other than a shrug and an "oh well". Always worth a shot.

Haggle. What have you got to lose? They may drop the price, give you free extras, pay for some of a service plan etc etc or maybe just say no, that's the price, and you either accept or walk. But certainly try.

It's advertised as 15 miles but the paperwork says 3.5k as in three thousand five hundred. Diff is not 200 miles....

What did it say on the clocks when you test drove it?
