The car is in good condition, no faults of any kind. Should I invest my money? I love the car and the bank has already approved the loan.

Obviously if the bank has approved the loan then they think the car is valued at if not more than the asking price. Used to be I heard that the average miles for a vehicle was 12,000 per year but I think that increased, just not sure how much. If that still holds true it has Little more than it should. But the bank would have told you if they thought the mileage was way above average.
I am right now considering a 2002 Jeep Wrangler automatic 4wd and it has 47,000 miles on it and valued in the blue book for more than the dealer is asking.
Buying used cars is always a risk any way you look at it.
Good luck.

I'm no expert, but I do know that 66,000 miles on a two tear old vehicle is abit excessive. Generally the average is about 12000 a year. If the vehicle was a rental vehicle that would explain the mileage. In that case your chances of it being serviced regularly would be pretty good and that is what is important. If the vehicle has been properly maintained then the mileage probably won't be a problem, except maybe the warranty.

It all depends on how the car was driven, Highway or city? Highway is much easier on the engine than city. Also see if there are any maintenenace receipts that the owner has for this car. If he constantly maintained this car, then yes it sounds likes decent deal.
Go to www.kbb.com to see the worth of this car, you may be able to haggle a little if the value is lower on this site.
The idea that the bank approved the loan for this car is encouraging about its value.
Good Luck....Ron

Saturn is out of corporation - GM pulled the plug in this make - yet they're sturdy autos. So i visit purchase this one. It has yet another 5 or 6 years of existence left in it. If airbags were deployed once (yet later fastened) skill it had considerable collision. stay away from it. that is going to hidden mechanical issues which will provide you you with head aches that you probably did not good purchase for. Ford concentration is a sturdy vehicle presently - Ford more suitable on them nicely - yet 2003 fashions did have issues. stay away. only be effective to get motorized vehicle historic previous of the Saturn. Get their VIN # - motorized vehicle identity volume - bypass the authorities information superhighway website - pay a small fee to get the historic previous record. It tells you no matter if the vehicle has ever been pondering an twist of destiny. Failing which, ask the owner to grant you their coverage corporation record. VIN # is on the possession card besides as on the coverage slip. it truly is an absolute ought to. If a vehicle feels like promoting at a low, low fee - pay attention - there would nicely be a clarification why. do no longer purchase with out having any style of suggestions on the used vehicle.

66,000 miles is not too much...Hell, if the car was properly cared for, and if you care for the car I don't see why it wouldn't hit 200,000+ miles...Make sure everything is running right though (might want to take it to a mechanic first).

go to the kelley blue book site or www.kbb.com. it is what car dealerships go on to decide what to price their cars at. it is the final authority on what a car should be priced at. trust me.
