I purchased my Galaxy TDI Ghia at 3000 miles in 2001, it has been used as an executive private hire vehicle since then.
At 100,000 the clutch failed and the flywheel needed replacing (£900.00) but it has now covered 143,000 miles and the drivers side window has stuck in the up position, I must have had a quality vehicle because considering its use and now the mileage these are the only expenses apart from service and wear and tear I have incurred.
