A question I often get asked is, " WHY SHOULD I BUY THAT CAR WITH OVER 100,000 MILES? "
In this short article, I will give you my reasons you should not shy away from these high mileage cars. With my 39 years of buying and selling these vehicles, I have experienced many instances of traded in used cars with well over 100,000 miles, and some with even over the 200,000 mile mark with still a lot of useful life left in them. So now lets give you the best answer i can to your question. Lets consider a few things first.
RULE # 1-The market value of these types of vehicles must be priced according to their condition and miles. You must see a SUBSTANTIAL savings over a car with average mileage to even consider its purchase. If in your opinion there is, lets proceed to our next step.
RULE # 2- Take a walk around the car, looking for outside rust spots, dents, tire wear, and get a "feel" for how well the previous owner took care of it. Sit inside, check the carpets, headliner, seats, and test the controls.
RULE # 3- Before you start the engine,check the oil level, and if is clean.Now you can start the engine and listen for any "ODD" sounds. Pay close attention to the wear on the rubber gas, brake, and if so, the clutch pedals.If the pedals are worn in excess, it could mean these miles were put on in a lot of stop and go traffic, witch is always much harder on the breaking system, transmission, and the engine. With these short trips, the motor does not get to perform at its peak performance. This is because the engine can not warm up properly. A much better way to have put this many miles on the car would have been with longer "HI-WAY" driving, without all the stops and starts. In this manner, the vehicles transmission and brake system are not used as hard, and will in most cases, last a lot longer.
FINAL ANSWER- If the car in question is priced right, in good clean overall condition, and drives good, you can expect a lot of service to still be available in this unit!
