As long as they have a decent service history and are std then no issues at all. I wouldn't say either mileage is high for a car of that age, I'm guessing 01/02 so around 15yrs.

My Bugeye has done 71011 miles and is well serviced - and touch wood (hits head) - no issues at all... Gearboxes are pretty strong to so shouldn't be an issue...

Give the rear arches a good check from the inside and down round the sills and rear jacking point, seen a couple of bug eyes that have started to suffer with rust in these areas.
