I agree that there are going to be some good deals on cars coming.
i think 12K miles/year used to be average.
I’m not sure how long modern cars last. I’d guess longer than cars from my youth. Maybe 200k miles is ok for a car these days. I’m honestly not sure.
Nor I. My 25 year old truck has 142K on it. Low mileage! lol
That’s amazingly low. 5500 miles a year or so.
Yep. Should outlast me. I have high mileage on this body.
Wow! What was it that the car needed?
If I recall, it needed only a windshield and was going for $1700. Call it $500 for the windshield and maybe another $500 for a minor tuneup and it would probably go for awhile. Honda parts are cheap. It had a lot of miles, though. Over 200k.
200K would cause me some caution.
Yes, me too. I’d rather spend a bit more on something a bit less used. I also wouldn’t be in a hurry unless I really needed a car right now. As months pass, there are going to be more desperate people.
True. Better deals are coming. When I was going through my Miata lust I found many with less than 10K. Used.
Of course you won’t be going to Home Depot in a Miata.
LOL! And you can’t stand sloppy wiring. You must have been mortified. .lol
Just checked my email. Classic Mazda 0% financing, no payment for 90 days.
Nah, I did that type of thing all the time. I bought that car for about $3k with 200k miles on it. Used it and loved it for years and years.
Pretty good buy then.
It was a great buy, but as with anything well used, you have to be prepared to sink some cash into it. Not that much. A couple of thousand a year or so.
Yeah you never get off scot free. But then no payments either so not as painful.
