If it's old and was parked in a garage all the time - or it was driven a lot but also hit a few heads of sheep - in this case I'd go for the fewer miles and less sheep-impacts . There seems to be an inverse proportion to miles/age here in the States and although I know it won't apply in Upsidedown Land - we look for more mileage and good service records . You see - a vehicle here with few miles on it is usually abused and not serviced and it has gone barn-sour . The people who own them never get them up to normal operating temperatures - which KILL engines and transmissions and fluids . Most good used vehicles here are about two years old with 125,000 miles (@202,000 Kilometers) then we know someone was at least trying to keep it going that long . Thats 276 km per day everyday for 2 years a courier would be hard pushed to do that much here . |
