Ok, so it's a bit up on miles for a vee, but it's had it's cambelt done etc.

Some on here may know the car, he may even be on here.

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm sure that was on here before??

 

[JR]

LY08's old one iirc ?

 

[aaronc]

I would be more concerned that he can't even spell the word 'really'.

 

[Beef-Mc]

I think the owners registered on here.

 

[Fletcher]

[.GAZ.]

[Fletcher]

LY08's old one iirc ?

Yep

 

[Iain C]

shouldnt it be a 255 rather than a 225?

 

[Ali]

peaches and LY08's old car. Fair few miles...But shows it's used i like that!

 

[R20 CWH]

46k on a 5 year old car isnt bad, spose it is a for a vee. But not a bad price.

 

[Timmay]

ah i thought the 2nd pic looked very familiar

 

[Fred@BTM]

bit cheap that, but it is "the common one"

 

[Juego]

Seen this last night in Glasgow, has the boys private plate on it. Miles is nothing it's still only a car built to be driven. 46k is nothing for a 54 my June 04 plate 182 has 44k on it

Yeah for a normal car it's not.
For a vee it's different, same with ferrari's etc (just an example, i'm not comparing one to a ferrari before some clever person chips in thinking that I am lol)

 

[Fred@BTM]

i think i own the highest mileage mk2 255!!

 

[cat171]

How many miles on it Fred ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

only 12K now na its on 54K

 

[Ali]

And done about 0miles in the last 20months!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Bought it in July 2006 on 43K
November 2006 was the last time i drove it!

11K in 4months! lol

 

[Ali]

I'm always of the impression Ferraris and big mileage don't go, if you want that performance every day, you buy a Porsche. Buy the Ferrari and make sure you have that special low loader on speed dial That's the impression I always get when I read things owners write anyway, and I beleive these days, it's not the case half as much and they're hugely improved, even 12k service intervals on the 599 for example, and that's not exactly a lightly tuned one

 

[Fred@BTM]

some of the 360's at work have done 60k miles (and they're thrashed sensless every weekend) they've been serviced like hell though, mileage means naff all IMO, its service history that counts

 

[Iridium]

Oh yea I'd totally agree with that service matters more statement for sure. I remember reading on the older ones it was belts every 12k or 2 years or something mad? Think it was an F355?

 

[Brown.]

Long as there serviced as the right time there fine

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah most of the Ferraris are belts every 12K, we swap them every 8-10K

the worse ones are the Gallardos and their bloody clutches! 8-10K miles max (depending on how much you use reverse, it wears the hell out of the clutch) a clutch is about £2K on its own IIRC £4K fitted

 

[Jamie _Swales]

Link dont work...how much was my old beast up for? he aint had it long..but then again, neither did i

Ferrari cannot do high mileage even if the owner would like to do that
