How many miles are too many miles

[17Magnetic5.0]

Might be worth looking at what maintenance has been done and seeing if the price still looks good. If you have to put on new tires, brakes, swap fluids, change worn suspension components, etc. Then it might be better to spend more and get a lower mileage car and it’ll be cheaper at the end of the day.

Overall condition and records would be a big determining factor imo. The fact it is above avg miles gives you negotiating power as it was obviously a daily driven car 100 plus miles. If car condition and engine is healthy shoot for wholesale to trade in number on it. Good luck.

Just to add a perspective, the amount of miles on a car/truck are a significant number in buying a used car.

The "Type" of mileage depends as much or more. 100,000 miles of nice soft asphalt miles on city streets and highways are much easier than say 100,000 of dirt back road wash boarded miles.

The cars history is important.

OP hasn’t given us any information other than it is a GT. I guess we’ll have to wait for more.

Agreed. More info would be nice to make a solid decision. Personally, I wouldn’t pay $18k for an 85k mile coyote car

Plan to DD the car? Do you like wrenching? If you were to answer yes/no - I'd pass say pass... but that's just me.

Wow. I’d go and drive it just to see how a 150k+ mile coyote car feels. I do like those shelby wheels though

That is high miles....I thought mine is high at 43K after 3 years. Must been used for business might be some hard miles in there, would pass since you can find ones with half the miles for a little more.

I had a cts-v that I upgraded to 630 rwhp when it had 80k miles and it ran great until I totaled it at 90k

Spent all that time on the highway. Easiest miles you can put on a vehicle. Looking at the carfax, vehicle was serviced at the dealer regularly. It was basically at the dealer every 2 months from November 2014 through last month. There was some front end damage in Dec of last year. No other details.

I would be a little concerned about how many more miles are left, but I know the first 170k miles were maintained miles, so I don't see any reason this vehicle won't go another 70k-100k more miles before needing serious driveline maintenance.

I almost want to pick it up, and get an extended warranty for the next 50k miles.
