Tips on Buying Cars: Need an Opinion, buy, car

Question
Hi Ray,


I am looking at two cars and need an opinion. Both are higher mileage. I am looking at a 2008 Volvo S40 2.4I 58,028 miles and a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica Touring 49,037 miles. Both of these are at dealers.

I love both of these in theory, but am concerned about the higher miles. Any opinion that you might have about one or both would be great. Just looking for input such as reliability.

Thanks!

Charles

Answer
Hi Charles

High miles don't scare me, condition along with the right price having high miles is all that matters.
If I was considering purchase, here are some steps and answers I would be looking for.

History ? former rental ? sold certified ? warranty ?,,, The test drive becomes the first step, navigate to this link on my web site for some pointers   http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html

Step 2 navigate to, take to mechanic, and finally comes negotiations if vehicle is still of interest
Is there a link or links where I can see these vehicle's  to check for red flags ?
