65k is quite high miles...im trying to keep my search to lower mileage cars, certainly nothing over 55k. However if this car was in good enough nick i would certainly consider it.

Would you guys have any reservations with such a high mileage car, as i would like to make a few trips to the nurburgring etc when i get my csl, and wouldnt want to buy a car which could potentially present problems?

In a word... no.

Shimmy's CSL is approaching 80k miles, and I'm buying one that's over 100k miles. It's more important that you look at the spec and condition of the cars than the miles. Also bare in mind that track miles at 10x as bad as road miles.

A car that's only done 40k could have done 20k on track, and I bet that car would have more wear than one that's done 80k on the road, unless half the car has been replaced under warranty like Shimmy's.

I agree with your first bit but the rest is just complete shite - are you talking from 'personal experience' or simply generalising yet again James? :banghead: :banghead:

You'll find most cars on here that go on track receive much more attention and servicing than your average motorway miles muncher and are usually much better cared for to boot...

Hence why I said after it - unless half the car has been replaced. Obviously I'm generalising to an extent - as I only have one car to talk from experience. Same with everyone else on here. All I mean is say for example if nothing had been replaced on a CSL but it had spent most of it's time on track then major components would be more worn than those of a car that had done the same miles on the motorway.

Obviously good care and servicing will prolong the life of the car but unless parts are physically replaced then they will be more worn on track.

Take Duncan's or Shimmy's engine... are you saying they weren't properly maintained? you can almost guarantee that it was the amount of track miles that led to them failing.

I'm only trying to help give an opinion - and I've tried to base it on examples where I don't have the experience myself.

Nobody has to listen to me... :whistle:

[glendog74]

Whilst i agree with some of your reasoning, i would also argue that you are scare mongering to some extent... :bigcry:

Do you know where all the miles on your potential purchase have been racked up? Previous owners and their attitude and care of the car play a big factor not just the place where it has covered its mileage - whether that be on road, track, or a combination of both.

A 100k miler could fail just as easily as a 10k miler for similar or for very different reasons - potentially without either car ever being anywhere near a race track...

Like i said, i agree to some extent but there are too many variables involved to make generalisations...

All IMHO of course

James, just a bit of friendly advice but it's up to individual owners to mention details of any warranty work carried out on their cars. Some people may jump to false conclusions and that's not fair to said owners.

To get back to your point, while I see where your coming from it is a generalisation. Most owners who track their cars make sure they are maintained to a very high standard. As long as that's clearly the case it would never put me off buying a tracked car.
