My question is: Is 82,000 alot of mileage on this car?

Worth it to you guys?

 

Thanks again

myself if...

 

1-i had the money i'd buy it

2-the mileage wasn't alot of stop-n-go driving.mixed highway an city miles i'd go for.

 

well that's my two cents

In general, yes 82K is a lot of miles for a 2 yr. old car...but I wouldn't let that scare you off right away...some member of this board have 3X that on their soobs.

 

It looks like another good one you found (from the outside anyway). I would just use the same precautions you used on the last one..run a carfax, ask about service records if they are available, headgaskets, etc.

 

Let us know how you make out.

She ran a carfax on it, one owner from a city 'bout 70 miles away so it looks like hwy. miles. Gonna go in next week and check it out
