Hi all
Going to be looking to buy myself a vehicle (4x4 or pickup) when I move over in the next month or so. Haven't narrowed it down to anything in particular but it has to be a V8. My question is what is considered high mileage for cars in the UAE? I see cars ranging from 80k to 180k and beyond I know that these big v8 engines aren't necessarily stressed but don't want to get myself into buying something that is coming to the end of its useful life.
Advice appreciated.
Cheers

From my car shopping experience, you cannot pre-empt how a car is going to be.

Depends on who has owned it...

Lots of different factors take their toll on cars here (heat, 100's speed humps, servicing style etc)

I went to see a Golf R32, 2007, 160k... was only fit to scrap....

Youll have to to the search on a car by car basis I'm afraid... Unless youre looking to a 'reputable' dealer.
