[quote=Anonymous]OK, after looking at prices models online, I have more questions - many of the cars have pretty high mileage. My own car is 125K. Until this car, I never kept a car so long. A few years back I had to have all the brake hoses replaced because it was old enough that they were getting cracked and dry. Obvs one option is to take my own 125k mileage car to a mechanic and have him thoroughly check it out and sink whatever money in to getting that into top safety shape. The other option is sinking that money (a couple thousand?) into buying another used car which is 3-4 years newer and 90-100k miles. Not sure how great a trade off that is - my main worry is - how do I know that I’m not buying another car with a potentially catastrophic failure? What am I looking for in an older car with high miles? certain things replaced recently? tires? brakes? what else? thoughts? [/quote]
