A question for #WeirdCarMastodon folks, looking for some advice. I am looking at buying a car on on a limited budget. Would you favour age or mileage? For similar money is a 2010 with 150k miles a better option that a 2005 earlier model of same with say 80k? If it makes any difference the car needs to be automatic.
To me anything with over 100k feels out of the question but I think that is 80s/90s conditioning when many cars didn't last that long, so might be an out dated view.
