> [@Justin](#): > > What is low mileage to her, and why is everyone who knows nothing about cars so hung up on miles? under 80,000 She currently drives a 91 accord with 200,000 on it so to be honest thats why its an issue to her. Shes 20 and its going to be her first nice car and cant justify having a car payment on a car that has 100k + and i dont really blame her after driving a 20 year old accord for 3 years to want something with alot less wear and tear on it. It depends on the car. 100k on a well taken care of civic is a lot different than 100k on say a mazda, ford ect. Like I said post up whats you have and it will be considered worst she can say is no. ---

i can understand where she’s coming from. It is difficult to invest alot in a car with 150k because in a few years it has 200k and when you want to resell it nobody wants it because of the miles. ---

> [@SilverGT](#): > > dam it lol i own all 100+k miles cars even 200+k miles car lol. Me too. I actively seek out high mileage cars. Generally as long as they are clean and drive nice you know they were well maintained. Also the peace of mind in that all the things that normally fail between 90K-100K (alternators, water pumps, wheel bearings, ect…) have already been taken care of to last long until 180K-200K. Most modern engines can and will last long into the 400K-500K range as long as the bodys hold up around them and mileage has nothing to do with that. I would never buy an older low mileage car, that means it has sat or was only driven short distances it’s whole life, the two worst things for your average car. My .02 ---

My .02 for the most part this is def true about older cars with lower miles. I personally have only owned 2 cars out of the 14 ive owned that had less than 120k on them and almost all of them drove like cars that had 50 because they were well taken care of. I would snag the audi you got up for sale if i were her but german cars are more expensive to maintain/ fix than hondas or cheap jap cars. ---

Its an 02 Accord Special Edition. What makes it a “Special Edition” I’m not exactly sure of. It does have a moonroof if the pictures don’t show that too well, and, the trim around the doors is not blue like the pictures sort of show it to be. Has 4 brand new tires, brakes are great, and you can see the car is spotless. I’m looking to get $8500 due to the condition and the fact that all the metal is still present on this one. I can’t believe how bad they rot around the rear arches up here-I’ve seen similar cars where the rear arches are rotted completly from WNY winters. ---
