High Miles Z a bad idea?

danegrey · 01-22-2013, 05:45 PM

just wait and see what is out there, if you waited 8 months, what is a few more.
When I bought high mileage, low dollar cars (they were beaters to me) kept them for a couple of years and went and found another one. But one thing I did do was have a variable car payment, which is I put money in a fund to pay for anything that need fix/repaired/replaced. last beater was a 91 mustang GT that lasted 6 years. So if you are considering getting rid of it in 3 years, they are a lot of other fun cars for less and you just need a fund, in case of problems.

Bought my '09 with 51K miles on it for 22k last week. Luckily for me I have a GF who is a certified ASE mechanic so she checked it all out for me before I bought it.
