Looking at a high-mileage Opel Astra...

I am looking at buying a 2007 2 door Opel Astra with 240000 km on it. Is this too high km and if now how much should I expect to pay?

Our answer:

Hi Tonja,

That is seriously high mileage so you need to tread carefully. The crucial thing here is the service history. If it’s full of stamps and has never missed a scheduled service, then things are looking good, although at that kind of mileage you are going to be looking at some major component replacement at some point. If there are gaps in the history, then walk away as it’ll just be trouble-in-waiting. Don’t pay more than €2,500 to €3,000.
