It ain't the years, it's the miles. Goes for cars and people.

From a valuation standpoint <10K/year
what about 99 infiniti with sub 160k? Probably about as uncommon as snow in Alaska...
i'd have to agree
15k+ is high. but once you hit 100k all bets are off and you really shouldn't claim anything
I have an 87 4Runner. 423,000 miles is normal right?
I always laugh at how uneducated people advertise cars... like a 1980 Toyota pickup with only "8000 miles per year" which still means its approaching 300k.
I get a really big laugh from ads that say "2005 Camry, 150k original miles." Really??? It hasn't turned over a million yet?
It's been said, (and I'm paraphrasing here) that below 40, you carry the face you were born with. After 40, you have the face you earned. "Low miles" and "very low miles" are terms that help tell me that, probably, the car has had little opportunity to "earn" itself poor mechanical condition.
Low miles would be 9,000 miles or fewer per year, not to exceed about 45,000 miles total.
The topic is about very low miles. I'd put that at about 5,000 miles, give or take, with the same cap of roughly 45,000 miles.
I've seen finance companies treat 50,000 miles as a milestone for rate purposes. I'd like to see that the car is a somewhat meaningful distance below that number. I mean, if finance companies, who handle more cars than me, would ding you on the rate for how high your mileage is, how can you call it low?
Some cars get a pass. A diesel W123 gets to be called low miles if it has fewer than 200,000. Of course, that's still, at best, about 7600 miles a year.
it does depend on the car.. 100k is nothing for a volvo... and nothing for a saab engine.. the transmission is a different matter.
I have a (mostly) rust free 77 fiat spider with 101,000 miles... would it be up there with the 50,000 mile maserati?
