Higher mileage Edition or lower mileage Highline?

[Firthster]

I’ve seen 2 vans that I fancy,
Both 18 plate
One has 51000 miles the other 79000
The 50 thou one is pretty basic spec wise but a lovely colour,
The 80 thou one grey is fully specked
Heated seat led lights front and rear
Twin sliders adaptive cruise control etc etc
Both the same price 33k both 1 owner
Now my head says the lower mileage one
But heart says the well specked van.
It’s a long term purchase so want it for the long run.
What do you lot think.
I think I’m hung up on mileage as when buying cozzys Ford Rs cars Mileage is everything
I’m really torn
Then there’s a sport line but that is another story

Higher spec

 

[Pauly]

Higher spec as well

 

[DaveD]

Higher spec, you won't have to spend hundreds of hours on here trying to get your head round all the headlight upgrade options!

 

[Jlo]

The high spec one!

 

[Sackmycook]

Basic, then have fun transforming it into a higher version

Put it this way, if your debating it so will future buyers when you come to sell.

 

[Mud Digger]

Does the high spec have what you want and need for what your gonna do in your van .. is it in good condition or will you be replacing / changing items

so buying them anyway...

 

[Firthster]

By lower spec ones high line lower mileage
Ones a edition higher mileage

 

[R8N XX]

High line lower mileage for me

 

[Firthster]

Thanks for the new title
I’m thinking highline as well

 

[Cymro]

Buy to enjoy.

I am buying the kombi for towing my caravan. Kids,bikes ,dog ,work etc,
But will be for the long term good couple of years at least

 

[JOG]

Buy both - keep the one you like and flog the other one

 

[Scruffy]

How many miles a year will you be doing?

 

[dubber36]

I'd go for the higher spec. The Edition will sell better in a couple of years time despite more miles. Standard spec Highlines are all over the place, so buyer will have plenty to chose from, whereas the Editions are more sought after. Low mileage XR3i, or higher mileage S1 RST?

 

[Firthster]

S1 all day long had 20 off them over the years

I do 12k miles a year

 

[Scruffy]

Hmmmmm, if you did really low miles I'd say the miles won't matter, as a low mileage user would bring the miles down, but you're an average mileage user, sooooo......hmmmmm. Whatever, don't hang around too much.
