When you buy a car, do you have to pay a tax each time you make a payment?
Miles is an important thing in cars. The number of miles and car can have depends largely on the size of the engine and how well taken care of it was. The bigger the engine, the more miles it will typically last. If your nervous about buying a certain car, take it to a mechanic to check it out before you buy it.I live in CA, I have a gross polluter vehicle - I want to get rid of it...?
Use kellys Blue Book website.It will tell you everything about the car or cars you are looking at including the right amount of miles.Low mileage means the car hasn,t been driven a lot and high mileage means it has been run a lot...If i were going to buy a used car i would not buy one with more than 75 thousand miles...over a hundred miles (bad) unless it is really cheap and has been well taken care of.
When I look for a used car, I want it to be as close to 12,500 miles per year as possible. Some say 15,000, and that's probably okay, too. Most cars built since the late 90's should run fine for 150,000 miles.

What is the fastest way to sell a car?
its pretty important. when a car is bought new, it is covered for a certain amount of years or miles for dealer service. during this time, people usually take the car in to get regular maintenance. after their warranty is up, they tend to delay the maintenance because the cost is out of pocket. if you can afford it, try buying a barely used car with less than 20,000 miles on it. i bought a 94 nissan with 63,000 miles on it. my friend bought a 98 with 130,000 miles on it and so far i have had less maintenance issues with my car and i paid less for it! miles are NOT the only thing that matters but it is a good indicator of the amount of wear on the car.plz tell me about words no 1 car company?
The national average miles on a car would amount to 12000 miles per year so, 1000 miles per month. The importance of miles determines the resale value of a car. So if your buying a used 2005 model your average miles would be about 24000 miles. Anything more than that, reduces the value in a car.Some sellers will say that the car was mostly driven on highways or driven mostly in the city. The difference on the two shows how much stress was put on the car. If the car was mostly used on highways, little stress was put on the car vs how much stress is given during city driving. City driving is subjected to constant braking, poor air circulation for engine cooling, stop and go "loads" or "rabbit take offs" , and constant idling which in turn, results in poor fuel economy. Basically, city driving makes the car work hard therefore, reducing its life. I guess you can compare it to a person lying in an easy chair listening to and enjoying music (highway miles) and someone playing the drums to some rock music (city miles). But, of course this does not make a difference in the value of a car. If your looking for a good reliable low mileage car, just make sure you run a Car fax report on every car you look at because there are people out there that "turn back" the clock on odometers(which is illegal) just so that they can fetch a higher price.What are some of the job descriptions and job details of a car salemen?
Great question , and one I'm sure you'll find many answers of varying degree. The obvious answer is the more miles it has the more susceptible it is to break down. But this is determined by the type of vehicle, the type of care, or lack of by the previous owner or owners.Also has if it has ever been wrecked, involved with flood damages etc will decrease the value.
hi there i am looking for ex lease fleet cars for sale toyota anvensis prefered?
Example, some vehicles such as Toyotas, Hondas and other Japanese imports tend to last longer than some others and higher mileage vehicles may be a good buy, depending on the price and as mentioned above, how well the car has been maintained.
Has any one seen this car commercial?
If any vehicle has been abused and neglected, irregardless of the type, it will be more prone to cause serious problems than a vehicle that has been well maintained by regular oil changes, service intervals, etc that have been adhered to.
which of the mobile phones is better?nokia 6103 or 6125?
So what's high mileage and what's not is difficult to answer, but the average rule of thumb for normal miles is 12,000 to 15,000 per year.
A well maintained vehicle with 100,000 miles will most likely be in better condition, both mechanically and appearance wise than a lower mileage that has been abused.
Asking for maintenance records of course is critical, not just oil changes records either. For example, some cars and trucks have timing belts that are required to be changed, and even some that if they break will severley damage the engine. If there is no record of this then the selling price should be less than one that has been changed. The price to replace can be expensive depending on the make/model etc.

Used cars do cost a lot, but consider the fact of a new one, when you first drive it off the lot it depreciates in value of several thousand dollars, let alone the high monthly notes for as much as 6-7 years.

why cant i sell my subaru - its a blower.....?
Another tell-tell sign is the evidence of pinstripes, decals etc that have been "cleared over", if these stripes appear to be underneath a coat of clear paint, then most likely it's been repainted. This clear coat is common with after market body shops, it also tends to peel away, especially from seems and plastic panels such as front and rear bumpers.
