I looked at a 2010 Ram Bighorn that is loaded with everything today that looked like a almost new truck. They are asking $11,000 for it which sounds like a pretty good price but it has 200,000 miles on it. It must have been owned by someone that does a lot of driving. Do you think it is worth it or is it too many miles on a Hemi.

Are you thinking as I am that if I have a major problem with the motor down the road that I could replace it and still come out ahead since the truck is so cheap for what it is.

Hard to rack up that many miles in town so it is probably highway miles and no worrys. I always try to judge a car on what condition it is in and say screw the odometer! I have bought quite a few VERY nice very good cars just a few years old with 200,000-300,000 miles. Usually if someone needs that car that bad where they drive it that much they tend to take better care of them.

Its my opinion that the single hardest thing on a vehicle is lack of use, something with that many miles didn't sit around much. I would grab it up.

Years are way harder on vehicles than miles are. Low miles are a salesmans best friend but I work on cars everyday for a living and can tell you that miles is not the big killer everyone makes it out to be. I see cars all the time with 50,000 miles that are T R A S H E D while other people have really high miles like 400,000 that are I would trust to drive to Florida in a heartbeat.
