Theres at least one guy on here that has 177k. But thats a miracle

 

I would be more worried with climate. Dont know how it is in AZ, but us northeasterners know the damage that can be done by salt and road chemicals used to melt snow. I assume since your in AZ you get some sort of sand storms and alot of dust gets into parts. Just make sure you are checking out the seals and such when you check out the car. Nothing like a bit of sand getting into sealed parts.

 

Proper maintenance and care and it shouldn't fall apart. There are a few people who are even boosted with over 100k miles.

 

diffidently not looking to boost mine. We rarely get sandstorms out here. Maybe once every 1-2 years? Arizona is a great place to have a car beacuse there is low humidity, very little rain, and no snow

 

Yeah. As long as you take care of it, it should last you fine until whenever you decide to sell it.

 

What kind of cars would you recommend for 12k? anything with about 50k miles and less
