Guy I wanted to know some other view points on a higher milage car. I was looking to buy this mustang with 130,000 miles but I tend to not keep my cars too long.
So if I did decide to sell would you as a buyer not want to purchase a car with say 140,000 miles. Lets say the condition is excellent, nice paint , no dents, no rust. The car runs excellent and has new heads, cam, inatake, a nice black interior. Would the milage turn you off of purchasing this car? Another god thing is I will be the second owner. No accidents and all original body panels.

Thanks for you input

Depends on price...but i for one have never purchased a vehicle with over 50K miles. I tend to think when the miles rack up, it means things will need to be replaced.

There are exceptions of course. If a vehicle is obviously well maintained and clean, then i could overlook the miles

I hear they really get down and corner just like a coyote does even with over 600k.
