Depends on what make the car is. If it were like a chevy... I would probably just turn around and walk away... If it were like a toyota, or even a honda I would look further into it. Being one of those makes, and having that many miles.. the car has only seen half of its life.

Well, mileage is not always a bad thing. A car is only as good as how well the previous owner took care of it. Whether it's a Ford or a Toyota, if the previous owner neglected the car, it would probably be best to avoid it altogether. Sellers always claim highway mileage, however unless it's a close friend, I would never factor that into the equation.
Many cars can run well past 200K miles

My mind tells me to pass. I don't care if it's America, Japanese, or otherwise. Any car of any make will fall apart if not properly maintained, even everyone's beloved Honda or Toyota. The more miles the car has on it the less sure you can be that it was taken care of, especially if it's being sold at a dealership.

price information from a current used-car price guide or from financing sources
the cars condition, checked by you
prices of similar vehicles, from advertisements
reasonable seller markup to cover overhead and profit

WALK SLOWLY AWAY !
Thats in my mind.
Goto the used train dealer, at your local railway station.
Buy a ticket for a ride on a used train !
It's done a million miles buy you don't pay to fix it !

for a japanese car for example thats not so many miles.
depending on the car and make is what i would think.
if you buy a used car have a mechanic check it out plus
consumer reports has used cars to buy and to avoid,
and be careful.

ITS OLD AND MAY NOT BE VERY RELIABLE.. ALSO ALL THE PARTS OF THE CAR COULD BE OLD AND NEED TO BE CHECKED OUT. IF I WAS YOU I WOULD ASK FOR A TEST DAY. THIS MEANS YOU CAN TEST THE CAR OUT FOR A DAY. GO TO A GARAGE AND ASK THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. HOPE THIS HELPED
