so my gma is selling her 08 honda CRV for $2500-$3000 and it has 200k miles but i think theyre mostly highway miles (my grandma has owned it since 70k miles, has records of all maintenance since 2013, when she bought it)

i have $13k in total for a car and i’d rather have a paid off car. should i buy this one or just get a used SUV outright

Depends, with a car that age it might need some work, but I imagine that the crv would still be the cheaper option even with repairs

2-3k for a crv is a very good deal

dont get that car my man. these kids dont know what they are talking about. If it has 200k miles on it, dont bother wasting your money. find a decent car with lower mileage on local websites until you find something you like.

That's great advice until you factor in that it's only $3k

^ 200k miles is only bad when it’s treated like shit I have multiple cars over 200k miles and they run great

CRVs are jumping in value so I'd hop on that deal, plus you'd have spare money afterwards, used car dealerships charge an arm and a leg for vehicles that aren't even worth test driving
