If you do consider buying just make sure you get it fully HPI checked just in case it's been stolen or cloned, my friend lost everything on a Mitsubishi L200. After 3 years of ownership the Poice turned up and said it was one of 6 cloned vehicles trhoughout the uk, no HPI = no payout 1964 Series IIA SWB Truck Cab - gone

What miles and service history??? Not sure I would trust one for that price.
It could be a bargain though!!!

Thanks guy's for your replys. I think i'm going to go and have a look at it and get a feel for what a D3 is like with that amount of miles on it.
I took a HSE 2005 with 60k on the clock yesterday and it felt lovely so I have a good base to start from.

With the talk of cam belt replacements and other parts that wear out over 100k miles I'd be tempted to chip in a little extra and go for something like this 41k mile V8 example.
(caveat, I do very low miles and LOVE the V8s)

I notice it's been for sale for a few weeks now so you could possibly buy it for £15k Previous cars

Quote:parts that wear out over 100k miles
The cam belt service is not just for 105k miles it's for 7 years too, whichever is sooner. So any early D3 is going to be due this service soon irrespective of mileage. (For the diesels anyway!)
