So there is a Chrystler Sebring JX Convertible for $5,369. It has 101,241 miles on it…. Any opinions? Is that too much mileage already? Is it not worth it?

Hello friends,
I was just browsing the classifieds and looking at the used cars section and noticed how a lot of the ads will list things such as ‘low mileage’ or list how many thousands of miles the car has such as ‘50k miles’ and things of that nature.
I don’t know too much about cars, but what is the significance of how many miles a car has in relation to its performance or whatever else you can gauge about the car by looking at how many miles has been logged onto the car?
Does having more miles on a car mean that it will break down a lot, or how can you tell? What is a safe amount of miles to look at when buying a used car, because I’ve seen used cars in the ads that range from 20k to 200k miles logged onto the car. Any other tips?
And just a side rant, man, a lot of these ‘used’ cars cost so much money, even though they are many years old and have many thousands of miles on them. You might as well buy a new car for how much some of these cars are listed for in the classifieds.

Why could american car companies not figure out that we wanted better gas-mileage and more reliability out of our cars.

My mechanic always gives me a sticker reminding me to bring my car in for maintenance after 3 months or 3000 miles. I do not drive much so after 3 months I am still 1500 miles under the suggested mileage for maintenance. Should I bring my car in every 3 months regardless of the mileage, or should I schedule my visits solely on the mileage?

For months, every driver and car owner in the United States and in the rest of the world was suffering from really high gas and fuel prices. Because of this, almost everybody was trying to cut back from using their vehicles and would rather find alternative ways of traveling from one destination to another.
However, it seems like the upward trend of gas and fuel prices has already reached its peak and is now starting to decline. With such a trend going on, many companies who do offer automotive parts and other services are now hoping that the drivers would go back to their usual habits. And in this line, the companies would also be benefiting from such for more drivers on the road would also mean more revenue for companies and businesses who offer auto parts like Audi car parts and auto services like repairs.
The NPD Group, one of the auto industry’s leading company on that provides information on consumer and retail, does say that come the following year, businesses who offer auto services like maintenance and repair are much likely to suffer from low income if people do not go back to their normal driving habits. Of course, if a person does not use his vehicle that often and his vehicle only gets a couple in his mileage, then maintenance would also not be done much. However, with frequent use, that is when these businesses that offer car maintenance get in more revenue.
David Portalatin is the director of industry analysis for the NPD Group. And with the changing trends, he does offer, “Spending on vehicle appearance could be a real bright spot in the market in 2007. Companies might consider offering product bundles and/or service packages that cross-promote appearance and maintenance items to make the most of the appearance oriented consumer purchase occasion.” However, he also does have a piece of advice for those in the auto business: “Another option could be to ensure when consumers visit a retailer or service outlet for repairs, that they are also cross-sold maintenance products or services to capture more unperformed maintenance.”
