yeah, a little. the average amount of miles for the normal used car is about 12,000 a year.

Not really. 60-70K miles will not cause a 2002 vehicle of any class to have a deduction for miles at a wholesale level, considering average condition of the car. Since most vehicles are average, I would agree that is not too high at a retail level.

Not really. People put way too much importance on mileage when it comes to buying a car. I've known low mileage 4 year old cars like you're talking about that were beat to death in that low mileage driving. I bought a ONE year old car with 65,000 miles on it...and yes it was a rental. I put an additional 105,000 miles on it and never even replaced a light bulb. Look at it this way...I take that 65,000 mile one year old car to a dealer and try to trade it in he'll tell me "I can't give you much on trade-in because it's a high mileage car"...but...if I park that one year old 65,000 mile car for 6 years and take it to the same dealer to trade in he will give me top dollar for it because it's NOW a low mileage car. Today's cars are so reliable and so well made that mileage is almost meaningless...as far as I'm concerned.

Depends on the type of car and what kind of engine. Most cars don't need to be rebuilt for 100- 200 thousand miles. Depends on how it's ridden (long trips or short a to b trips). Was it ever in an accident? that could cause problems with engines too. It all depends.

10,000 miles a year is great for any car. Can't say the same for mine. I have a Jeep Cherokee and have had many Toyota's that went WAY beyond that average. Before I buy any vehicle I get it in for an inspection. It could save you thousands. Good luck! Cat

No that's not bad. My 2000 Hyundai accent has 180000 miles and my 1999 Mazda Protege has 175,000. Both still run amazing though. Keep in mind that a lot of parts will need to be replaced due to age, not mileage.

no ont at all. Most cars, even 1990's cars can usually last up to 200,000 miles unless there has been an accident of some kind.
