It will haunt you for awhile if you get something with 150,000 miles and put thousands of dollars into it just to have an unreliable vehicle.
Wow...where did you hear that from? That only depends on the vehicle. I wouldnt touch a dodge with high miles unless its a diesel. Our family had numerous vehicles with over 200k on the clock and still purrs like a kitten. General maintenance is all that is needed. Especially with the Toyota and Honda car engines. If you really wanna be sure of your purchase check the motor condition...just do a compression check to make sure that all the compression is within 5% of each and that its not too low.

One word "buicks". Can easily run over 200k if taken care of... 10k miles really isnt much at all if the car is taken care of. My friends car has 255k miles on it and it still peels out and is very reliable. Its a 98 buick lesabre.
