well would you? OMG POLE
If it’s under $300. fuck yes. I bought my audi for $200, and it probably had over 300k. Atleast, it did when I was done with it. Ha.
fixed that for you.
I’d buy it, if it was cheap.
No way
Has the motor/transmission been replace at least once?
^on that topic, there is a guy on TDIclub who has over 400,000 miles on stock clutch and front brake pads :jawdrop: wish it were that easy!
thats alot of highway miles…
I would in a heart beat. if some one has that many miles means they took really good care of the regular maintenance or there one lucky sob.
I also drive a car with over 300k :shrug:
there is also a guy I use to work with who has a suburban Z71 taho 2000ish with over 350k I would buy from him if he ever gave up its super clean
if it was given to me, maybe… buy, no way
300k is NOT unheard of. I have a few customers well over quarter mil. I have one who is at 460,00. Stock engine, third tranny.
But I probably would hesitate to buy something that high.
edit: Check out valvoline’s 300,000 mile engine warranty.
Depends on the car and person who owns it. There are a lot of variables.
Typically, no. It’s usually not worth the headaches that come with a super high mileage car, even if you get it for super cheap. No matter what there’s always a risk of things just letting go because they are so used. Regardless of how well they were taken care of.
not likely, but i can’t say for sure without having a specific example.
you gonna tell us what you’re looking at q t?
For $20 bucks so I could strip it for parts sure? For a lot of money or for a daily driver? Nope.
It would depend on the vehicle and, more importantly, the price
Depends on the vehicle…I think it’s a case by case thing. I know of a guy that has 1.4 Million miles on a Dodge truck w/ the Cummins. The shortblock of the engine is still factory, never been apart.
I think after 100k its a crap shoot, you could buy a sound 110k car and have the tranny drop months later, or buy a 200k mile car and have the same problems. after 100k I dont care what the ODO said Im going to look it over carefully and decide on what i feel and see. mileage means nothing.
Some of the oil field guys here at work have mad miles on their work trucks.
This one old man has a Silverado that will be one year old at the end of this month and he has 78K on it. His last truck was a 2004 silverado with 402K, original motor/tranny/rear end, a tree fell on it. I pulled up the top with a fork truck, and it still drove great.
Another younger guy has a 1 ton silverado with 325K on it, it think it is an 05. He has gone through 8 sets of tires and a bunch of oil changes and the truck still looks great.
I think we sell most of our used trucks with 250-400K miles for 3K-8K bucks still.
Not unless it was a well-maintained diesel.
lyndon?
Yup! He logs all his fuel fill ups and the mileage when he fills up. Maybe I’ll ask him for it and graph it. I think he said he averages about 1mpg better after he brakes the 100K mark on trucks. He still gets awesome MPG numbers for driving a truck.
One of the many MKII Supras I bought for parts had 490k on it, best running one I had before I rebuilt mine.
SO my answer is YES
