[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.

That depends. I know high-mileage drivers that sell after 2-3 years. They are in businesses where the company pays for the vehicle and they are entitled to a new one every 2-3 years. For example, my friend was an account rep for the mid atlantic region for IBM, and she'd drive all around in her Ford visiting various customer sites. She'd put on huge miles per year, and she got a new car every 2-3 years.[/quote]

This is possible, but there's no way to know.  [/quote]
