Just bought a 2005 Toyota Camry to replace my totaled 2001 Camry. Everything you talked about was true. The 2005 had 4pages of service records, one owner, & 163,000 miles. The inside was well maintained & clean. Bought it for $5000. Although I had planned to drive my 2001 Camry, which I bought new, for another 10 years, and had only 115000 miles, I had to trade it as salvage. I sure do miss that car but I think I made a good decision on the 2005. By the way I’m a 77 year old lady but did my research well.

On the other hand low mileage with light throttle is also bad for some modern direct injection cars. Short town journeys were the engine never warms up is worse. Disproportionate engine wear happens during cold starting. For aircraft it is the number of take off/landing cycles that is key, cars ain't that different. Gentle braking can also cause "glazing" of brake discs. In addition most defects manifest at low mileage, a new car can be worse than a used car in that respect. You wouldn't believe the heaps of junk that I owned that never let me down, but the one time I bought a brand new car it had 3 breakdowns in the first year.

@@dchris95 older cars that are dirt cheap are fine. But the issue is when people buy a 2016 range rover for $40k and it has 120k miles on it. Or any expensive newer car. If your buying an old car and it's high milage if something eventually happens you loose a small amount of money and get you use out of the car. If you spend $40k on a used car hour most likely expecting to drive it another 8-10 years. And it won't do it trouble free. If you can't afford a low milage newer expensive car you can't afford the high milage one. I.E a 2016 escalade with 120k miles for $30k vs a 2010 Tahoe with 50k miles for $12k. Which ones the better purchase.

The only thing wrong with it was peeling lacquer on the trunk lid, hood, and roof. Also wear on the edge of the cloth driver’s seat from sliding in and out. The entire time I had it, the only thing I had go south was a wiper motor. My brother in law got one from pick and pay and swapped it out for me at cost. I sold it for the same price I paid for it, $1200.00.

I wish you would do a video on what to look for in the engine for example I always take off the oil fill cap take a flashlight and see what the rocker arms look like if they are gunked up then it means the oil has not been changed also check the dipstick but there are multiple multiple things to check under a hood to see if a car has been taken care of. Hopefully he does video on that too. Great knowledge thank you.

You deserve the like and sub. Everything you said made sense, the only issue I have is head gasket life, and more importantly timing chain life. As a person looking to flip cars at a dealership everything you said made sense. As a person weighing options for buying there is more to the story than meets the eye. To anyone buying a high mileage car, definitely and I do mean absolutely check to see if there is a leak in the head gasket. It is easy to top off the water and make a toad look like a princess.

I was in the automotive industry for almost 20 years as a dealership technician. The job took its toll on me physically and now I am looking at getting a dealers license and start reconditioning and reselling cars. I feel confident that I know what to look for and really found this video helpful. You have hit the nail on the head with everything you have said. The one thing that concerns me with buying higher mileage cars to resell is the potential buyers ability to obtain financing on a high mileage car. I know many lenders are leary of approving loans if the mileage is high. How do you address this?

My 2005 dodge neon was never meant to be reliable but after 200k miles it’s never broken down. It’s been maintained properly and is still daily driven and taken on 1000+ mile trips often. Everything works, no leaks, no oil burning and no rattles. I also trust it when I need to slam on the brakes and when I need to put the peddle to the floor to get up and go. After having this car I’d definitely trust a high mileage highway car over a low mileage city car.

I generally buy my cars between 20 and 40k miles and I have never regretted it...I will however have no problem buying a Toyota/Lexus with high mileage if it in excellent condition...Word of advice: stay away from any high mileage German car, especially if it was not well cared for!

Other than that fairly routine stuff like sensors etc. It has a few quirks and the gearbox is starting to wear a little but it's still great to drive and I do a LOT of miles in it. EDIT: It also has only recently shown any signs of rust and it's very minor on a wing.
