This car is almost 23 years old. It’s old enough to vote and go drinking in bars. When I shopped for used cars, U took a roll of masking tape and covered over the odometer reading. One of the best car purchases I ever made was a 1968 AMC Javelin I bought in 1971. The dealer wanted $1695. This was in May and the odometer read 33,000. I rooted through the glove compartment and found.from the state inspection record that it had been inspected the previous February with 55,000 miles. The price dropped from $1695 and my 1961 Corvair to $1200 and my worn out Corvair that was worth maybe $50. I put another 100,000 miles on the Javelin and sold it for$600 six years later.
In 1955, my parents bought a used 1954 Buick from a family friend. The odometer read 24,000 which was quite a few miles back then for a year’s use. These friends had driven the Buick from Indiana to California and back and from Indiana to Florida and back. My dad reasoned that the miles were road miles and these miles were easier on s car than stop and start around town trips. I bought the Buick from my dad 10 years later and I drove the car to 160,000 miles. It never had any engine repair and didn’t use oil. It was still on the street 2 years after I sold it.
My point is that the way the miles were racked up is more important than the number of miles on the odometer.
