VW TIGUAN - Cheaper high mileage or expensive low mileage - strickjumpers

Hello, looking to get a VW Tiguan, somewhere about 2013, dilemma is lots about at 12.500 pounds with average miles, likely needing cambelt and water pump soon, or is it better to get a one owner fleet car approaching 100k for about 8,500 to 9,000...belt done, new tyres, top spec, looking to keep a long time doing 10k per year. any opinions? Mike.

You'd certainly need it to be a keeper....and accept that when you have finished with it the mileage would make it much harder to sell..and carry a very low price..!

Doesn't mean it has to be a bad car of course....just accept the eventual reality.

Yes, change of plan, get something that isn't diesel, isn't high mileage and that you can afford.
