Used vehicles, normal (acceptable) mileage?

[slackline]

Deltarat, you got some of the best years of those trucks. I wouldn't buy a GM truck that has the active fuel management with over 100k. I see too many with internal failures due to oiling issues to shut down cylinders. They make delete kits for them aftermarket now though. But even they are expensive.

Thanks all! Now I need to get past the mental block I have with this .

I wan't buy a gas burner with more than 20 k unless paying cash . Anything over 60 thousand will be a heck of a deal .

I bought a factory ordered 1974 Nova and it cost me $3,000.00 brand new and then I bought a new 1978 F100 ford pickup for $5,000.00. Have not been able to buy a brand new nothing after those day just used because of the outrageous prices. Hard to believe a pickup is worth $60,000.00 now days.

I agree 100% on the hard to believe on the prices of pickups and suvs !!!! but talk about hard to believe, think about this !!! now these vehicle are in great shape but just think
1974 Chevrolet Nova $23,495
1978 Ford F100 with 99,725 miles $21,995

I actually had bad luck out of the Chevys in the 90s. Had 3 or 4 of them and most where a nightmare. The new Chevys seem to be better now. I had the same problems with all of them transmission, water pump, heater coil, starter, and so on. Never had trouble with the motors every thing else was the trouble. Had my best luck with Toyota trucks. I have a Ford now and have been happy with it so far.

My 99 with 360k on it has had radiator,water pump, and heater core. I decided at 250k it might need plugs. When I pulled one and it was sharp as a pencil, I didn't see how it was running, until I opened the new ones and they looked identical to the old ones.

After pricing, I'll stick with a suv, which are still overpriced. Or an AWD van. The bad part is, theirs only one awd midsize van.

think twice about an AWD if you get 1 bad tire you have to replace them all. Reason I was given is that all tires need to be as close to the same tread wear or it can mess up the gearing on an AWD.
To a dealer average mileage is anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year just for reference

Thanks, didn't think of that.
I'm averaging 10,500 miles / year.

I got a 2012 Terrain last Aug. when I left the dealership I set the trip mileage on it to keep track of the miles I've driven it, as of today it has 2950 miles on it that I've driven, getting close to 65000 on the odometer. It had pretty low miles on it when I got it.
