Mileage is only a number on a well maintained looked after car.
Keep it, better the devil you know:-)

think you've just answered your own question.keep it :-)hmmmm yeah, cos I was browsing other cars earlier to see what I'd swap to, but there's no other car out there that looks as good, handles as good, sounds as good, or is as fast for the money I paid for it/money I would pay for next car (up to 8 or 9K)

I've been looking at E46 M3's and most are over 100k miles which does worry me :/People in this country get too hung up over mileage and in particular the psychological hurdle of the 100k barrier. You could buy a much newer car with a much lower mileage and still get major issues with it.

Agreed
If it was a 1.1 little 1980 fiesta then yes 100k is alot,
Nowadays 100k if nothing, with how much commuting we do.
I am guessing you are old enough to remember when 100k was alot on a car, don't worry if you look after it (regular service) then it will look after you
I personally buy cars with low mileage and run them up high myself, as I know the history of the car.
Just keep and enjoy

I can be rude, opinionated, and sometimes come off as a dick. I am just speaking my mind. If it offends you, PM me. Don't go whine to someone else. I am civil, talk to me.

I'll be honest, seen plenty of good examples for sale at reasonable prices and they've not exactly been flying off the shelfs.
Although the R32 is adored on this forum, they are not as well appreciated in the wider world and sadly that is a fact.

We have seen cars in at work with mechanical defects at less than 1000 miles on the clock so do the right thing..... Keep it!

Think I will keep it then, just ordered a couple new tyres for the front...Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's
You made the right choice.
Looking at tyres myself, as I will need some in the next few months, and think the Goodyear's seem to be the stand out performer.
