Hello,
Just chatting with a mate in work who has the chance to buy a 3 year car with 3k miles on it. It's a BMW 420 M Sport (Not diesel, no DPF etc).
The following hypothetical just crossed my mind - the car is just out of warranty but has potentially not done enough mileage to tease out any potential issues that would usually arise in the warranty period, had the car done 10k miles or.
Very theoretical I know, but, is there some legitimacy to it? I mean, we all know how much of a fight car brands put up when a problem is raised outside of warranty?
Is there an argument to be made that is is somewhat risky to buy a car with too few miles as well as too high?
