shall i

hi, i'm new here so i'll dive in with the typical stupid questions that i'm sure you love.............

I'm looking to buy a transit which i can camperise and i'm down in dorset where they seem to be hard to find.

Anyway the question is - I have found a Mk6 (55) 125ps but it has done 108 000 miles (14000 since january) is this sensible for me to buy (4995+vat). I'm thinking that the engine might have been worked a bit hard (especially recently) but the body work is absoloutly spotless.

please be nice and i promise to post pics of the conversion as it hapens.

thanks in advance
