[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mileage is way too high. We have fewer miles on our ‘03. [/quote]

I have a 2011 with 140k. I spent 2 years driving it from Knoxville, TN to central MO. For the car OP is looking at to be at 68k in 2 years, I’d assume they did a whole lot of highway running and not be overly concerned. Take it to an independent mechanic to be sure brakes, axles, suspension are in good shape. [/quote]

I disagree.  People who drive their cars over 30K a year doing highway driving usually don't sell their cars after 2 years.  Those people will keep their cars until they have 200K miles in 7 years.  The people who sell 2 year old cars with over 30K miles are ones who drove for a living.  These are people who drive car services, uber, delivery services.  Many of these were leased cars.  High mileage vehicles selling in 2 years is a red flag, one of many in this deal that OP should avoid.

Yep. I know a lot of salespeople who lease (or whose companies lease on their behalf) new cars for about 2 years, and then given them up--think things like pharma sales where you are on the road all the time.[/quote]

Op here- I spoke to the salesman this morning and he said it was a lease. The miles still made me nervous though and the whole deal just doesn’t make sense. He called me back 20 mins ago to tell me his manager said that was their best offer so i told him I was going to move on. This was through a ford dealership (a PP asked).[/quote]

OK, they were taking advantage of you because clearly you have no idea what you are doing. You should know if you are financing a car or leasing a car! This is the worst deal ever and I want to know what dealership this is so I can never do business with them. [/quote]

This! I gasped when I read it was a lease!![/quote]
