When shopping for a used car you can never trust what anyone says about how they drove their vehicle. Lower miles is usually the safer bet, but not always the case. One thing I look for is how well kept the car is inside. I am meticulous about not getting anything inside scuffed or scratched, and the same goes with the outside of the car (but that's nothing a $100+ detail job can't fix). This can tell you how much the previous owner loved and took care of the car. It's just my opinion, when I see scratches inside, it tells me the owner did not love his/her car.

I paid 22k for my '09 w/ sport package and it had 10k miles.... I think I would have gladly paid the extra 1k for the lower mileage...

So to put that in perspective... I think I would pay the extra 3k for half the mileage in your situation.

WOW thats a great deal.. Did you buy that from a person or Car Lot .. how much were they asking ???

I bought in the Winter, January, off of this forum. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get the deal to go through.

The car was titled in New York
There was a lien on the car.
I drove out of state twice which took 10hrs round trip.
A LOT of trust to make the deal go through (being I had to pay for the loan first before picking it up)

In the end. I ended up with an awesome car.
