   Hey, im buying a Citroen Saxo Furio 1.4, for around 1750 in icelandic grey. its got 69700 miles on the clock. Do you think that thats too many miles for the price? the other ones at the same miles are 2695 but with a few less miles e.g 65000. Thanks

   no, is fine.
   
   At minimum it'll be 7 years old, so £10k a year average would make it under average at minimum !

   Far too many, you'd be crazy to buy any car with that many miles.

   I dont think i would pay that much for a furio though. Seems a little steep to me

   its a 52 plate, there decent first cars thats why there a bit more expensive than most VTR's and VTS's cause theyre usually insurance group 7+ furio is 5 so cheap insurance. so 69700 isnt bad then? inside its so clean, one previous owner, apparently a woman.

    My furio has done 61K which is pretty low for the age, 10 years old in June!
    
    Can i just add, A cars mileage doesn't always indicate the state of the car/engine, a car that's done 100K could well be in better shape than one that's done 70K, it all depends if its been serviced regularly and looked after and not thrashed! A good service history is a big plus when buying a saxo. I'm sure most of you are aware of this, just thought i'd throw it in.

    I must be going a bit dilusional as well, because your post makes NO SENSE. Avoid the text talk/scottish?! typing man or you won't be on here long at that rate...
    
    As for the car, sounds fine to me, price seems ok, mileage seems good. My VTR is on an 03 plate and has 103500 on the shell, engine is probably around 80,000 but I have no way of knowing, either way, it runs sweet.

    £2500 for a 52 plate VTS? Your delusional mate, no one else.

    Personally wouldn't spend that money on any Saxo, would rather move on to something else, like a Renaultsport etc

    need i continue???? go on pistonheads and you will see for youself
    
    but seriously why the hell would a furio be dearer than a vts at same age???
    the vts is the top spec model and the furio is far from top spec!
    the insurance group has nothing to do with selling a because why wld a 30 year old girl who could insure a vts cheap anyway pay more for a less spec model just because of the lower insurance group??
