120k Mileage safe buy for 3 yr car?

[Bionix77]

Hi all,

 

Currently in a dilemma as to whether to get a 3 yr car which has 120,000 km done. Car has been regularly service at dealer as seen thru the service record. Think it suffered a slight accident at the rear, plus windscreen got a wiper scratch.

 

Any advise/comments? Thanks

4get abt it. take ur time to choose cos there r better ones out there. don buy something tat may makes u regret for yrs to come

no way..an average singaporean uses about 20,000km per yr. 3 yrs probably in the region of 60,000 or 70,000km. 120,000km means there's gonna be alot of wear and tear.

my ride is 2++ yrs old, haven't even hit 40k.. coming close though.. 120,000km?

 

forget it.. not worth it... for me, i would only hit 120,000km in the 8th yr,,,

I'm doing 30K/year...40k/year is quite high

i just sold my fit away..clocked 150,000km in 3.5yrs

 

the ride felt very strange and so i decide to sell it off...

 

from a 150,000km in 3.5yrs driver perspective

roger all.. but only thing attractive is the price... the closest price for a car that has less mileage is around 6k more..

[Aloskimo]

dun buy

Can buy,assuming regular serviced no white smoke,engine shud be ok,just tat need to service many things

How you clocked so high? To NSHP frequently?

[S4vtec]

but isn't a high mileage car a safer buy ? meaning car is used regularly with minimal breakdowns that's why it's able to cover such a distance . rather than to buy a "low " mileage example that could mean the opposite?

[Bionix77]

test drive the car.. engine pretty quiet.. service record is good also.. so many dun buy versus can buy... really feel like giving it a miss now..

[Bionix77]

true also.. plus at least i know the dealer did not "do something" to the meter.. heh heh

What car?

and how much?

[Sir8]

I had owned a Corolla for 3.5 yrs done about 110k I could have still travelled the world with it if not for the 30k COE I let it go.

 

Not convenient to reveal what car you eyeing?

[Bionix77]

sure can reveal.. it's an odyssey at 61k..

It the normal wear and tear part that most people concern, do you think that warranty cover for 3 years or 100,000 km for nothing.

My 17 year old lau pok kar has 285,000km on its meter.

Average is about 17k km per year.

 

120k km is way too much for a 3 year old car.

I am sure it has traveled to Malaysia many, many times.
