   Anyone Had Any Problems With Buying A High Mileage Mk2 Vtr 65,000 Miles + On The Clock Or Is It Best To Pay The Extra For The Lower Mileage?

   65, 000 is nothing to big mate, just try and work out if the engine has been ragged.

   And Why Does Every Word Begin With A Capital Letter?
   
   Surely That's Really Annoying To Do?

   I'm running 77,000 on the clock with my 2000 VTR. It's fine really, just I got abit ripped on mine for £2000 so maybe sure you pay less than £1700 and i'd say its a topper deal really. As long as they're maintained they'll live on, well, like any french car...

   Just make sure the car has a decent history..
   My VTS has 100k, the only reason i bought it was because the service history was fully stamped etc

    65k is a bad time to buy,
    
    i bought mine at 68k and it needed loads doing, its had everything done now and runs so
    
    much better at 83k, look at service history for things like clutch, fly wheel, brakes,
    
    gearbox and cambelt. if they havent had it done then you will have to do it anyway.
