I spent over $70,000 USD in repair expenses for my 2014 V8 over the course of 100,000 kilometers driven.
Are you financially capable of managing many unforeseen repairs costing $2,000 each in the coming years?
What is the cost for a $10,000 engine-out compressor replacement?
The cost of a replacement tail light is $2,200.
An O2 sensor costs around $2,500.
The malfunctioning heating sensor cost nearly $2,000.
At 24 years of age, I could afford the acquisition cost but not the repairs and upkeep expenses.
The acquisition cost is not the critical aspect of purchasing these vehicles. It pertains to the ownership expenses associated with them.
In my view, 100,000 miles is not too high; but, if you are financially strained to purchase the vehicle, it may not be the wisest decision.
Best of luck anyway.
