+1 not over 100k, and prefer to keep it below 80k honestly. I bought my used Jeep at 70k miles about 4 years ago- now up to 92k miles (don't drive a ton).Anonymous wrote:I wouldn’t purchase anything over 100k miles, but i’m more conservative. My brother would buy a good used Toyota even with 150k miles. We bought a 3 year old 4 runner with 80k miles on it about 8 years ago. Still running great and now up to 140k miles. Yes, we’ve had to put some money into it, but nothing close to having to replace it.

The sweet spot tends to be a 2-3 yr old car under 40,000 miles, there are lots of them coming off lease and they have often been maintained well. Cars these days go a lot more miles than they used to but once you are up around 60,000 you should expect things to need fixing/replacing pretty regularly. Not for every car but on average and generally playing the averages rather than looking for the exception works best.

I bought a 3 year old Soul with about 70,000 that has been a great car. It was a rental car previously and had a few very minor scratches. It was significantly less than comparable models at other dealerships and has run beautifully.

100k. I never buy brand new cars. But wouldn’t buy a used car over 100k.

Today, I would not buy a car with more than about 20K on it -- and only if 1) it has a clean title, and 2) has factory warranty remaining.

Why was your insurance so high? Did you have full coverage?
One of the great things about driving a paid-off old beater is that you don't have to insure it. You just need liability and assume you'll take the $800 hit and replace the vehicle if you're in an accident.
Insurance was high because, 21 year old with two speeding tickets.

I bought my last two cars when they had high miles:
Honda Odyssey 135k
Toyota Prius 166k
No worries, man. The challenge is knowing when to let it go.
