Mileage vs. value 2004 4x4 ?

[novabrian]

Im considering an 04 that has 175,000 miles on it.It's a 4x4.It's $7,500.I don't know if this is a good buy?The KBB is right there but you never know.

I say too high. Local dealers around here have them for about 140k and 6500-7000. Unless it's in super awesome condition with proven maint. records, I'd pass.

Post up a link to it, and a few other vehicles you're looking at in your area that are comparable. That way people can tell you whether the first one is a good deal or not.

I paid 6500 for my '02 a little over 2 years ago with 155,xxx miles on it. I did receive EVERY maintenance record for the truck since new. The previous owner was extremely anal about the truck and I'm glad he was. 189,000 miles and it runs like it's brand new.

I would say see how far you can talk em down and if they dont budge much walk away.

It's ALL about maintenance and condition to me.

I have an 03' with a tic over 100K that I paid 7,400 for. It was in good shape. Needed shocks, and a lower rad hose when I bought it. Gave it a tune up, wheel bearing and that's it so far. Great condition.

Had an 03' come into the shop this week that was a dead ringer for my truck, except it had a push bar on the front. It had 71K on it's odom. and everything was just about shot. It needed about 3K in repair and maintenance. Ball joints, wheel bearing, TRE's, brakes, etc, etc, I wouldn't have given 5K for it.

My advice....it's worth it to take a vehicle to a trusted shop and have it inspected before being purchased. It's worth it when you lay down that kind of scratch.
