Is it a smart idea to buy a vehicle with 200,000 miles?
I found a used vehicle in my area that’s being sold for dirt cheap, but I realized it’s probably because the mileage is pretty high. Do you think I should buy a car with 200,000 miles on it?
Expert tip: Have a mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection to see if the used car is in good operating condition—despite its high mileage. Some of the most reliable makes and models have been known to last up to 300,000 miles if they’ve been properly maintained.
