More Posted: 201030 Which is the better choice when looking to get an MGV8 - a high priced, low mileage example or a well maintained car with a moderate mileage? Many enthusiasts looking to buy a good MGV8 are attracted by examples in immaculate and original condition with low mileages and are less attracted by well maintained cars with moderate to high mileages. But in many ways the justification for the premium for low mileage cars can be doubtful because an MGV8 that has had such low use, sometimes with extended periods in a lay-up, can develop problems that require considerable expense when recommissioning the car, even for modest use. Also once a high priced, low mileage car is used in even a moderate way, for example 5,000 miles/pa when the recorded mileage begins to grow, the annual depreciation becomes a significant cost from an annual loss of value for the owner.
