What do you all think of this? High miles, but one owner...

I'm also noting that I just pulled a car fax and it looks PERFECT!!! No wrecks, no nothing. What do you think?

i'm thinking you should find out what major maint. items have to be done at 150/200k miles and whether or not they've been done already, then look into the costs associated with such items.. maybe find out how long original motors tend to last + cost of replacing one...

 

I'm thinking that's very true - It's just so hard to find one of these, and when I do find one they have high miles Before I buy I'll have my mechanic look it over good We'll see, this may be one I'll have to pass on...

I'm noting that highway miles cause much less wear than 'daily driving' short commutes, so if this car was owned by .. say... someone who traveled very long distances for work... the miles wouldn't scare me as much.

 

He has a LONG commute, he lives in Vancouver, WA and drives down to Salem, OR for work.

i'm saying that sounds good

 

I'm sayin high mileage bothers me...mostly because you have to factor in an engine rebuild. Also, I don't know how the previous owner used it for those miles...

However, given the car you are looking at, they're all going to be higher than desirable mileage...

 

That's the hard part, most of them will have higher miles But I do like most of the miles were highway miles

I'm saying i'm going to go look at it tomorrow I talked him down $500 when emailing him Hopefully this will be the one
