Should I buy this cheap high mileage car?
Hi all.
Right now I can score a 2013 Chrysler 300, AWD, loaded, with the 3.6L V6 for $7k from a dealership. Only problem is that it has 187k on it. Do they typically last longer than that or should I pass?

I won't say you should or should not buy it. Standard mileage is about 12k-15k per year of age. That car should not have more than about 75K miles. Edmunds says that car with standard mileage should be around $10k-$16k. They're selling it for $7k probably because it would cost them too much money to bring it up to saleable condition - that would make their profit minimal. Whenever you buy a used car, you're buying someone's problem child. You take the risk, no warranty of any kind even if they verbally say there is.

I'd run from that one!

187k in 5 years is a lot of miles. The car might have been a rental car for the first 2 years/ 40,000 miles.
