what's important when searching a use car to get even if its not domestic?

When searching for a use car to get is it essential to view mileage like over 100,000 is consider too high even for a Japanese car like Mazda 5 of 2009, 2012 or 2015? Besides that, other factors are like the exterior and their maintenance in the past such as basic ones?

Mileage, price, age, maintenance, and if these check then having a trusted independent mechanic inspecting the car. Maybe a 150k mile car is well maintained enough to last another 150k mile, but there could be a 50k car that is just trouble. Another factor is how much you plan to drive it, city driving and running errands or long distance driving, and how long you want to keep it.


I plan to drive it not much everyday only thru city maybe and sometimes highway or long distance?

If the use car even though not domestic after researching online, says below year exact miles also ain't good if its been own by more than one person or use much as fleet or rental as not best to buy?

Mileage is only one metric. The other is maintenance records. And there may be others too.

Just for mental math, I use about 10K, because it is easier to calculate. 

Also, I look at type of driving, mainly city? Mainly highway? Mix of both?

Require mileage use car

Sorry, but I don't understand. This isn't an English sentence.

Anything below the exact mileage, even use as fleet, rental, single owner or more not advise to buy unless maintained?

Sorry but I'm really confused. Are you asking if it's a bad idea to buy a low mileage car?

 


Yes?


Of course not. Cars generally don’t get better with time

Hi, 

Is the essential mileage to drive every year 12,000 multiply by the year of that car to get a resonable mileage for the use car according to the article :  How Many Miles Should a Used Car Have? by Frank Gogel? Anything below the exact mileage, even use as fleet, rental, single owner or more not advise to buy unless maintained?

Is it really true that a car 10 years is getting old or at 20 years old even though its been maintain well and have much miles?


If you repeat questions again, I will have to ban you I'm afraid. You've been here long enough to know the rules. Thanks.


Um no I haven't. I just became a member less than a week ago. This was my first ever post since joining. I was trying make the proper correction to my post. I didn't get an answer to my question. Now I log back on and get threatened to be banned.
