Default which car is better?

the 98 with 50k or the 00 with 75k. i just threw out some numbers but id generally like to know what you guys think in terms of mileage in relation with the year. for instance would u rather have a car thats 2 years older but has something like 25 k less mileage assuming everything else is equal. and why? thanks

Kind of pointless... It all depends on price difference in the different cars really. Of course if you see 2 identical Accords for $5000 and one has 100k miles and the other 50k miles, your gonna want the one with 50k miles. But its gonna be pricier too.

People look too much and depend too much on mileage while buying a car. It all depends on what type of miles they were. Were they old-lady driven miles or teenage speed demon red-lining miles? The 100k mile granny driven carwould bein way better shape engine/tranny-wise than the teenagers 50k mile car...

Its hard to explain but you get the point

im saying all else being equal. of course they wont be but theres no way u could tell. would u take a 2000 with 75k or the 98 with 50k... same or similar prices. of course ur example of 2 identical cars, one with 2x as many miles isnt what im talkin about

If all else was identical, there is no question in my mind that I would take the 98 with 50k on it.
