I might be willing to trade a few miles for an uncracked dashboard!
Whats the highest mileage you would go and still buy?

I bought my 99 suburban in 2008 with 115K no problems. I bought my 01 Y XL with 107K no problems. Now I have my 02 Suburban, bought with 63K 3yrs ago has 98K with no problems.
I would buy all the way up to about 120K and feel good about it.

Picked up my 2000 with 230k. Bought it with a bad head gasket, now its in the shop for a complete rebuild.

We just bought an 07 Denali with 122,000 miles on it. Everything works, and it is very clean. It was owned in Franklin, TN, so I felt like it was a good gamble. It's a pretty wealthy suburb, so I thought the odds of it being maintained well were pretty good. I have been tinkering with it since we got it changing all of the fluids, headlight restoration, and general maintenance stuff.
We just took a family vacation to the beach which is a 7 hour drive each way. It ran perfectly, and I almost got 17mpg for the trip on 87 octane gas.

Id buy a 200k vehicle...From the right seller. If someone maintained their vehicle to the standards that I do, I wouldnt have a problem buying a higher mileage 5.3 or 6.0.
However i wouldnt buy a vehicle with 10000 miles on it from a 20 year old kid with a backwards cap, racing stickers plastered all over his lowered truck, claiming hes raced and beaten new cameros lol, but not remembering the last time he had the oil changed : /

went to go see this denali today
It wasn't too bad at all, I didn't hear or see anything in the engine that worried me, it will need new breaks soon they felt a little weak. However cosmetically it did have some flaws, I noticed a small hail sized dent on both the rear tailgate and front. Underneath the car there was moderate rust (expected from a truck driven in the winter). The rear defroster cable also came unsoldered from the glass. I told the salesman all this and I actually ended up knowing him so he told me hel do his best to get it to me and I just told him I have 16,500 to spend and he said hel see if he can get it at that price...Not that I'll absolutely get it but I just want to see first

Maybe its just me... But 16500 for that with the issues and mileage seems a bit steep considering its a 7 year old truck. Just my .02
