Used Cars: USED CAR BRANDS TO RECOMMEND, buick park avenue, high mileage car


Question
LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
HELLO, YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT AT ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS THUS FAR AND WONDERED IF I COULD PESTER YOU AGAIN? MY USED CAR SEARCH IS FINALLY STARTING TO GET UNDER WAY NOW...I MANAGED TO GET SOME MONEY TOGETHER TO JUST BUY A USED ONE FOR CASH. I HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH HYUNDAI AND HAVE BEEN VERY RELIABLE. I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BUY SOMETHING WITH NEWER AND LESS MILES BUT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THAT. I WONDER IF BUYING A HIGH MILEAGE CAR IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO? BUT IF AFTER GETTING A MECHANIC TO CHECK IT AND THE CARFAX IS CLEAR...I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO. BUT, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD RECOMMEND ANY OTHER CARS THAT PERFORM/RELIABLE (BESIDES NORMAL WEAR TEAR OFCOURSE) THAT ARE HIGH MILES. 60K-85K MILES. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON BUICKS? I SEE A DECENT 97 USED BUICK PARK AVENUE. KIND OF A BIG CAR FOR ME...BUT LOOKS ALRIGHT. ANY IDEAS/THOUGHTS?

In my opinion the best all around car for the money with those kind of miles on them is a 3 series BMW ...no joke! BMW includes free maintenance programs for up to 50k miles on  a new car they did this (among other things) to support their preowned and certified preowned vehicles. Car's (especially beemers) need to get their lives started in a healthy way because when they do then they last a very long time. The key to that is to do the maintenances and change the oil as directed every 7k for synthetic) When those cars that were cared for all throughout their useful lives ...and BMW provides all of the things it needs to grow old and rack up lots of miles by investring in them early on their existence.Does that make sense? They are in your price range and they are cool and stylish and they soooo much fun to drive...If you have any follow ups shoot it over to my email I need to run into a meeting in 8 minutes
