If the car is very well maintained and serviced would it be wise to go for a car with 35k-45k miles and get the better price, or should I go for the garage queen and pay the extra 4-8k???
I currently have 81,000 on my 97 and it runs like a top . . . want to know what really makes the Viper tech I work with nervous? 10 year old cars with 10,000 miles on them. A typical engine with all it's moving parts was not meant to sit idle for long periods of time . . . I think the main issue is really how the car is maintained more than the odometer reading. Good luck.
