Okay, so i went car shopping today and found one i really liked but it has 102,000 miles.

its a dark green 2003 grand am gt with hood scoop, sun roof and leather seats and rear spoiler.

my question is, is that way too many miles? i mean cars are made pretty good now and lasts longer than they used to, but still.. by the way, im not gonna be putting many miles on it anyway. pretty much just going from home to school

How long do you need it to last?

i havnt really thought about that,

there is a 2003 grand am se also that i can get for 6,800. and its got 62,00 miles. it just doesnt look as nice


So it costs less and has less miles?

I think you can do better,

i found mine, 2001 ford escape, with 85000 miles and only asking for 7K

keep looking, you'll find something

hmm that seems ok. I guess I have a 99 Malibu (thats right bitches, jealous??) it has like 120,000 miles on it
hinshawwrx Posted at 3:10 pm on Sep. 1, 2008
www.kbb.com to check price vs. miles.

As far as miles, thats really not bad. What matters more is previous maintenance schedules.

ElephantStone Posted at 3:09 pm on Sep. 1, 2008
thats is a lot of miles for 5 years.

ss454 Posted at 3:08 pm on Sep. 1, 2008

No... that's not too bad. Depends on the price though...
