| Advised Need On Buying A Car With High Mileage by okpeho(op): 6:26am On Jun 28, 2021 |
Good morning all, i want to change my car and I saw a 6 months used Honda CRV 2004 model online going for #1.250m, according to the owner, he said the car was sent to him from Canada by the Aunty who happens to be the only user. The mileage is - 319,712. My concern is the high mileage and also the price considering the mileage stated above. Please, I need your honest opinions on what to do.

okpeho:Canadian used vehicles typically have Km based odometers, in contrast to US market vehicles. 319,712 KM = 198,659 Miles A 2004 CRV would be 17 years old in 2021 198,659 Miles is not unreasonable mileage for a 17 year old vehicle. It's actually far below the average mileage for a vehicle of that age. There are other factors that would determine your decision, there is more to making a good purchase than just mileage. Besides getting a more complete picture of the history records from Canada, physical inspection would be necessary, which would also include rust inspection. 2 Likes

okpeho:High mileage IMO. The average in the US is 12,000 miles/ year. High mileage is 15,000 miles/ year. So, on 2004 car, 17*15,000 is only 225,000 miles. Average would be 204,000 miles. That car is very high mileage. EDIT: UNLESS the mileage you started is in km not miles in which case I would still be wary because you don't know if they were good or bad miles |

Thank you everyone for your contributions, I have really learnt a lot from your wealth of experience. Now that the issue of mileage has been resolved, my question - is the 1.250m fair enough for the CRV because I will still have to fix the brake issue according to the owner, he said the brake is leaking oil from under the car. |
