Welcome. Unfortunately you have about 25k miles of driving until you can enjoy your car to it's full potential!!

 

[FlameR]

Yeah it will be tighter than a nun's muff at 15k. Good buy though

nice one 15k is low miles - welcome to CS

Remember kids, a 5 year old car with 15k can often be more troublesome than one with 50k!!

 

[FlameR]

Just red line it in every gear for the next 2k miles, that should loosen the bugger up.

 

[Jen172]

Why can it be more troublesome?

Normally if you have a car that has been sat around alot and done short journeys (15k on a 2003 car would suggest this) isn't brilliant for compnents.

A car that has been used daily should be in a better mechanical state than one thats been used once every 2 weeks.

This is all in my experience though. I never go for low mileage cars, as they are the one's I have had most of the trouble with. My 172 has averaged 9k a year and is sound.

So true, a mate of mine bought a R reg car with 35k on the clock and he has had nothing but problems

I agree, I've got a 1968 Elf with only 42000 miles on it and its as unreliaable as f**k and costs me a fortune every time I go out in it, something else goes wrong. lol!
