How many miles is good for a first used car?

How many miles is good for a first used car? Ugh, that's such a loaded question! It makes me nervous just thinking about it, especially if it's for a teenager. I remember my first car... what a bucket of bolts! But, honestly, 100,000 miles isn't necessarily the end of the world. I mean, think about it – wouldn't you rather have something more affordable? Who wants to shell out a ton of cash for a first car that's probably gonna get a few dings anyway? Right?

It really, really depends on how well it was taken care of. Like, my neighbor had this old Honda Civic, and the thing had, like, 150,000 miles on it. Drove like a dream! He had every single oil change and repair documented. He was meticulous! So, a full service history? Golden. That's what you want. It could honestly last for ages if it’s been looked after. So yeah, don't get hung up on the mileage alone. It's just one piece of the puzzle, you know?
