Advice on buying a used Range Rover Sport
My local non-franchised garage has a above Range Rover for sale. It's a nice colour (grey with cream leather) and seems to be in good condition. I am concerned about the above average mileage. They are asking £31,000. I would be grateful for your advice please.

Needs to be the 8-speed auto, not the previous 6-speed. Makes a big difference. High mileage clocked up quickly is good for a car as long as it has been properly maintained, so check its service history. 10k mile oil changes very good. 20k oil changes very bad. If okay, work on the price by pitching a counter offer of, say, £25k, bearing in mind that the car originally cost £60k plus, and negotiate from there.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
