Mileage doesn't matter much Posted by MisplacedYankee [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Ran a car fax, Jeff, Sun, 13 Jul 2003 08:58:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have been out shopping for Viggens left and right and 15/20K mileage difference isn't going to be much more than $1K or $1.5K on a 2000. There are a few posts in here on the auction prices and there isn't much difference for mileage - its more about model year and superficial condition. The early 2000 in service date means that there isn't much warranty left on the 28K mile one regardless of the low miles. One might have new tires and brakes and one might not - lots of factors to consider. You just have to really look it over and try and get a feel for any accidents, how the previous owner might have treated it etc. Usually you can tell.
I went to Florida to buy a 2000 Viggen that I could have gotten at $400 over what they paid at the auction + fees. It only had 20K miles on it and I walked away from the deal based on a lot of little things that told me the previous owner took no care for the car - I questioned if they ever changed the oil during their ownership. Lots of stuff to consider, but you will know when you find the right one.
Is it at a Saab dealer?? Maybe you can get them to Certify Preown the car for an extra $1K (or tell them you will take it at list as a CPO). That extra warranty would relieve some concerns. ALSO you can take the VIN and call your local dealer and ask someone in service to run the warranty records. When I am serious about a car thats what I do. That could reveal a lot about the car.
