high-mileage car

[ralphs]

i think the key here is to really talk to the owner of the car being sold and find out by asking leading questions to know if he/she understands how to maintain a car. a low mileage car with an owner who doesn't understand how a car is maintained is worse than that of a high mileage car with an owner who is knowledgeable on car maintenance.

But then again anybody can tell you anything if they're selling their car. Hence the saying, "Buyer beware."

That's why you should look at the car with a critical mind and scrutinize it inside out before you get it. Go for a test drive and see what needs to be done or what feels wrong.

Better yet have a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) by your trusted mechanic.

pag 100,000 kms na ang tinakbo maski maalaga pa ang previous owner malapit kana or nasa breaking point ng mga parts like velocity joint, aircon compressor, alternator, clutch assy kung manual, mga auxfan( kadalasan starting at 75Tkms up), water pump, tps sensor, power steering rack, shocks, mga bearing at yan na rin time na mahihina na mga motor ng power window at may play na ang mechanism e apat pa naman yan.
lahat yan ccheck mo dahil mdyo xpensive na parts yan sir at para makatawad ka pa ng medyo malaki! hehe
d pwede ung ssbihin ng seller na "ganito lang yan!", "mura lang yan" at ung palaging cnasbi ng nag bebenta na "simple at napakadaling gawin yan jan sa kanto kaya yan"

Mas mabuti na yung high mileage na auto at least alam mo na hindi tampered yung mileage ng auto.
