The milage on the car isn't the issue, it's how it's been looked after. You could by one that's barely been driven and end up spending way more making it good again, so don't be put off. Best way to buy cars like this is from an enthusiast who's kept every receipt over the years to show they've given the car all it needs, and never done any daft mods. Buying any car from a trader who's job is to make profit is a risk..

[@Strider9655]

Most new German cars are not sold to to car enthusiasts, they're sold to badge enthusiasts, and those people finance/pcp a car they can barely afford the monthly payments on, so they skimp on servicing/maintenance and then you have the famous phrase from TopGear "the fastest car is always a rental" so basically 99% of these cars have been driven like stolen from new, so they're all f**ked.

I had a 2000 USDM Civic coupe and it really was the "sweet spot" for electronic control and reliability. Just enough sensors to control emissions and basic things like timing advance to keep the engine running well and with the possibility of diagnosing faults with just a cheap OBD scanner. My 2009 Mercedes is impressive in that the diagnosis software can even test engine compression! There are too many sensors though, lots of possibly false information that can set you back when diagnosing faults. MB went through a serious bad patch in the early 00s and 2003 was a real breaking point and they then tightened up build quality a lot

High mileage does not have to be a bad thing. It all depends on how the vehicle has been looked after. I'll rather say that vehicles with low mileage for their age are risky to buy. Because they may well have been used mainly for short distance driving, on an engine never up to operational temperature. This will have worn out the engine.

[@psions555]

I wholeheartedly concur with you. Nothing worse for a car than not being used enough. I think cars that have racked up big miles in the early years are the best, like fleet vehicles when that mileage has been racked up alongside proper servicing.

I think high milage is a problem, cause the wear and tear of the parts. Even if the car is well mantained, you dont change every part when its used. E.g. an used steering gear or the suspension parts may be technical alright, but you feel of wear and tear is present. On the other hand a car thats has sitten too long is not good either.

Not to mention, anything that hasn't broke by 170k miles was designed to last a long time and anything that has broken has already been replaced.

Change the oil, filters and spark plugs every 10k Check oil and levels once a week. MOST IMPORTANTLY preventative maintenance and fixing a niggle before it becomes a problem.

Nothing wrong with high mileage cars. The problem is buying shitheaps.

[@Storm.Z.4u]

Thats what someone with a high miler would say

[@BionicSammich]

@@Storm.Z.4u My B7 RS4 has 62k miles on it. Over 100k less than Evil GT's B7 RS4. I stand by what I said. I've had cars that have had absolute moon mileage on them and not had a bother. It's all about how they are maintained.

"Oh no I bought an old high maintenance powerful car with high miles and something went wrong if only I could've forseen this."

[@EVILGT]

Ahhhhh that’s a buggar mate. If you’d have watched this video first we probably would have put you off buying it and saved you all the trouble

ALL modern vehicles have a finite life. Anything over about 100,000 miles is getting to the stage, where there are likely to be major faults, which are so costly repair may not be economical. Build quality being poor, and electronic problems, apply to ALL vehicles though, and are likely to affect anyone with a vehicle outside of warranty.......

Digital cars, high mileage, sensors getting older, computers with issues, ground wires with corrosion, bad grounds, water leaks on the just mentioned. highly tuned engines, turbos, more sensors, E-diff, software issues in 8 / 9 speed transmissions, buying one of these older digital models is bad enough, buying one without a warranty is Russian roulette. If it is maintained it s better, but still problematic. Worn front and rear suspension components causing negative chamber and wearing your high dollar rubber down to the steel bands (but only on the inside 3"), etc. I have tried this a couple of times. Not again. The pre 2006 more of an 'analog' type car did not share all of these exotic problems our newer cars seem to share.

Depends on the price. I buy old high mileage cars for $2000 or less. Sometimes they last from 5+ to a couple of years. Then to the trash it goes.

1990 - 2005 Model Camry loves high Mileage

[@marksmithard7801]

Champagne lifestyle and beer drinking budget. Scrimping on a £63 sensor. It’s an old car, that’s the reason it’s not £90k now

[@Gabrielde2ori]

[@Gabrielde2ori]

God damn, I dunno why but this is so entertaining!

[@tunveerhanif2647]

Brake line are common on w204 and c63

[@japfan8161]

Never have never will buy anything high mileage and without a full service history

[@cccvick]

You are absolutely correct...stay away from high mileage vehicles....the German ones...
