It's touchy! Even If you know it was well maintained. The price has to be a lot less than the sale value to give you cash on hand left to spend on future maintenance. The timing chain, trans filter and all fluids may need need immediate change. I bought a defective 89 olds 88 with 154k miles for $300 in 2002 and spent $400 more to get it running. That was with my own repair work and not having to pay a shop's price. It passed 200k miles last year After 180k, as the problems arose - I've had to replaced the timing chain, cam shaft sensor, water pump, Power Steering hose, oxygen sensor, thermostat, radiator, catalytic convertor, brake pads and four tires. I still think I was blessed, The car needs a paint job and a new headliner, and front floor carpet, but I'm I not real vain. I get around town at 17 MPG or three to four hundred miles away for Golf outings ok - and at 27 MPG. Do some more homework on costs to repair and maintain that car you want. Maybe you can be the blessed one.
Sure as long as I could inspect it first.
bad..but it depends on how old the car is. If its 10 years old and its a diesel then it should be fine.
It has a timing chain. Should last the life of the car.
no
Yes, that's really bad actually. Please consider the following: any car over 150,000 miles in my opinion, is not buy-able. In my personal experience, cars (top of the line and also cheap) rapidly deteriorate after 150,000 miles unless of course the engine is new/rebuilt.
Once you buy a car, the value of the car decreases. Miles and miles and wear and tear all decrease the value of the car. New cars have 0 miles and have way more value.
I would not buy a car with 155195 miles i think it is bad.
8.8 miles by car.
About 190 miles by car.
I am sure you can. It will be worth 1p
yes
People will usually only travel 50 to 100 miles to buy a car. Beyond this distance, there are usually not enough cost savings to make the travel worth it.
