He should have had the car inspected by a mechanic before purchasing it. Most used cars are sold as-is. Sucks to be your friend.I want to buy a car in Spain to use in Portugal. What problems would I encounter?
it is a 12 year old car - what is wrong with the carI'm not sure what you mean by Is 1000miles in one week too much?if he travels a lot then no, but he would have to go about 150 mile a day to do so. depends on what happened to the car, has he taken it to a mechanic?
but i'm purchasing as a pawned car i won't pay no more than $500 4 tha car so what?
not really..... he should have got it checked out...but didn't. That's his bad.What chance do i of getting my money?
1000 div by 7= 143 apx per day....
that's a bit excessive but think about it like this...If someone works in a city, and lives an hour away in a more affordable location...they may commute 70 miles each way....or about 1000 in 7 days.....
Would u get a 3 series with 100k miles?
that's more than any sane person would do normally....I would say he should get some money back...It would have broken down if it took 3 weeks....
You are very vague in your question as to what the mileage was on the car etc etc.
Where can find a good used car for $2000 or lower in chicago?
I would say for a 12 year old car 1000 mile a week is crazy. you are asking an old car to perform like a new one. No point. It wont. This is why your friend should have bought a much newer car if he new his mileage was going to be high.

Used cars are sold 'as is' and if purchased at a dealer (many states allow for) an implied warranty which is usually 15 days/ 500 miles which ever comes first. If he purchased from a private party once he paid for the vehicle and drove away it is his.Let the buyer beware.
Could someone plz tell me if I am getting a good deal for a 2002 Nissan Sentra sedan for $7,000?
Your friend should have had the car checked out before he bought it. Don't forget, its 12 years old and likely to break down in some circumstances - it won't be perfect!
Which is a better buy - Pajero or the Nissan x-trail (base model without sunroof etc )?
Sorry, he might have bought a dodgy car but he bouth it used. Unless he got a warrenty I would say he is out of luck. Like the other answerers I would say if you get a used car, get it checked out by a mechanic you trust BEFORE you buy it.What is the best type of car for a new driver?
1000 miles on a 12 yr old car is expecting a bit too much from itNo. Anything can go wrong even in brand new cars. The car is 12 years old (2006-12 = 1994). When the car is more than 5 years old (or 100,000 miles), problems shows up at that time. The owner of any used car, knows, it is going to be expensive to maintain a used car. Does he know that it is going to be expensive to maintain when the car is old? I am a car enthusiast and a Do-It-Yourself mechanic, and I know how expensive it is, really expensive to maintain the car's peak performance.
Was he sold a dodgy car? I don't know what is the name of car, so I cannot assume. I know if you bought a used car, you cannot return it. I know if you bought a problematic car, then it has problems. If you bought an unreliable car, it is unreliable.
