Car 1:
  • 2450
  • Skoda Octavia estate, 2014
  • 182,000 miles, likely an ex-taxi
  • Private seller


Car 2:
  • 1500
  • bmw 116 sport, 2005
  • 105,000 miles


On the face of it the bmw seems a better shout, but it's like 20 years old and its a bmw, sounds expensive to run

An VW versus a BMW, both with high miles? Nobody wins.

BMW I understand but why the VW hate? I had a B6 passat that clocked 200k and thing was a dream right until the end.

Ex taxi means the gearbox/clutch is likely fucked.

I reckon you could find better than either.

Repairing german cars in the states is always more expensive but you aren't in the states so
