Hi All,

 

Looking to get a bigger car than our 2008 Volvo S40 2.0D SE LUX and came across a 2009 Superb SE with 105,000 miles for just under £8,000

Ad says it's had a new cambelt, is this a good deal or are there better examples to be found (flexible budget)?

 

How do Superbs handle high mileage?

 

Thanks,

Done 100k in mine and it still feels like new.

170 DSG elegance.

Judging by the 'as new' rear and passenger seats, the hands-free kit and branded front tyres its looks very much to me an ex-company car so likely to be all motorway mileage.

 

105,000 miles is nothing for a regularly serviced CR170.

 

It has the optional 18" Luna alloys on too which is rare for an SE.

Thanks, I shall go and take a closer look.

Also has the optional sound system. 10 speakers plus an amp. Sounds 100% better than standard system and was a £900 ish option I think!

Good spot - I had to take another look to notice the extra speakers on the doors!

Didn't realise the SE was so well specced, looks worth a second look for sure.

Vetoed by SWMBO for now, going to look for an L&K spec later in the year.

 

On the keyless option with driver's memory seat does the seat automatically adjust to whichever key is used to unlock the car?

That's quite a few price brackets further up the chain!

 

A leggy 2009 £8K SE to a nearly new L&K? The cheapest L&K on Autotrader right now is £26K!

Not expecting to spend £8K, might go new for the right deal.

Leggy to me is over 150k

105k is the new 50k

Nice looking car - also had the headlight washer covers colour coded, mine are silver/chrome.

 

Looks nice with the Luna's.

 

Would agree it was probably a ex-company car, well looked after and maintained at no expense.

I was passing by and took a peek. It's got four near practically new tyres on it.

Condition looks good overall, discs are bit worn.

 

Still vetoed.

I quite like that!!

My tdi170 has done 210000. Pulls fine no problems apart from the DPF.

If your doing short journeys get it removed when it plays up and a re-map to save reoccurring heartache ... Just get a good trusted re-map company to do the work and don't cut corners for cost. My map was cheap... And needs doing again...
