How many more miles does it last depends on how well the prior owner maintains the car. If they change oil every 3k miles and do major service every 30k miles, then there is a chance it'll last much longer. All parts of a car eventually fails but lets hope the engine last the longest. Since the Tiburon is a sports car, I'm assuming the previous owner revs the engine and speed a lot so it may not last as long as a normal economy car. I bought my Honda Accord at 89K miles. It is close to 200K miles since I follow the maintenance schedule... and is still running.

Why do people always ask these unreasonable questions, there is no way to gauge how long a car will last because they will last as long as you are willing to pay for maintance and repairs!! The motor shouldn't be a problem, unless it requires a head gasket or some other minor repair. Before buying any used car you should pay a mechanic to give it a once over and test drive it to see what's really wrong with it. Remember it is a used car and that's why you aren't paying the new car price. Yes, the guy is selling at 90K miles, because banks typically won't finance a used car after it gets to 100K miles. Just make sure the transmission is fine, that is the biggest expense to repair and most likely part to break down.

If I was buying the car from my wife I'd say it would last for another 150,000 miles; but, not everyone changes the oil every 3,000 miles nor do they drive them like my wife. And you would not know if it was mostly city or highway miles which makes a big difference. Otherwise at 90,000 miles I hope you either have a spare engine around or a warranty with the vehicle. Good luck..

90 k ????
wow id never buy a used car with that many miles.
but if you treat it right drive it easy change the oil on time you can get another 100k out of it. (giving the fact that the previous owner didnt beat it up).

If it had a lot of miles left why is the owner selling it, remember Hyundai guarantee there cars for 100,000 miles so there is your answer

It will last until the extended warranty runs out.
