[QUOTE="bone_naga, post: 6290461, member: 85939"] I look at the make and model of the car. Some are known to be more reliable than others. There are several Honda vehicles that are on the top ten list for cars most likely to last beyond 200,000 miles. My own car is over 10 years old, has over 140,000 miles, and I do almost no maintenance on it, but it keeps running. I've had other cars that were newer but couldn't go a year without having trouble. When my wife bought her car she had a choice between two of the same make/model/year, the primary difference being the mileage. We went for the vehicle that had more mileage because it was cheaper and we probably won't have it long enough for the difference in mileage to be noticeable, which brings me to another point. Consider how long you plan to keep that vehicle. If you are going to get rid of it in a year or two, mileage might not be that important. On the other hand, if you are like me and want to drive it until the wheels fall off, you might want something that has a little less wear and tear. But to your main question, I consider mileage to be far more important than age, at least for the ages you are describing. Obviously that may change if you are talking about a car that is 30 years old or something like that. [/QUOTE]
