DO NOT BUY IT





You know usually most cars get 100,000 in 10 years no 212,000 in 9

Yes, When buying a Car I don't buy anything over 100,000 miles... anything near it is ok....but once you hit 200K BiG repairs could be on the way
Reply:it is quite a lot but it shouldn't affect the way the car works just make sure it is up to date on mots and that nothing has been a problem with it.


hope this helps
Reply:If you are buying a pickup truck, I think you could get a terrific deal from a regular dealer on new or next to new. The people who rent vehicles are turning them in after the three year lease and not buying the leased truck due to gasoline inflation. Take someone with you to the car lot, if you decide to buy from a dealer. The '99 Explorer with 212,000 is not a winning deal for you.
Reply:Yes, honestly that is alot of miles on a vehicle. If you were to buy it, it probably would not last long and then you would have to put another engine in it and depending on if you buy that new or used it could cost up to like $4,000 to $5,000. I would look for something with less miles unless you really like the vehicle and willing to put a new motor in it.
