I have 283,000 miles on my 9-5 so I am not afraid of high mileage cars, especially as a third vehicle. I was shocked to see the KBB Retail Price for a 2005 Acura RL with this many miles. But still.........
235,000 miles is a lot of miles. Many horrible things can take root in the car while accululating those digits on the odometer. You would have to be in a position where the cost of an expensive repair is only chump change, or you could consider the car disposable if an expensive repair is necessary.
I find it hard to believe that an RL with a quarter million miles is worth the $13,000 that KBB assigns it.
