but before you say what if anything catastrophic happens yeah an engine or
transmission failing on a newer car with a hundred thousand miles is relatively
rare I'm gonna look at a car but I think it kind of has high miles whoa whoa what
do you mean high miles oh you know like a hundred thousand
miles bro that thing isn't even broken in yet wait so you think I should
actually consider buying it yeah I think you should consider buying it and here's
why yo today we're gonna be talking about buying and enjoying cars that have
more miles because well they can save you money and be more fun to drive in
this video I'm gonna show you how and then at the end of this video I'm gonna
give you what I found to be the perfect sweet spot for mileage which will give
you the best opportunity to drive the car for free and if you are new here my
name is Brad danger and this is the I do cars youtube channel which is for next
generation car enthusiasts interested in ideal cars believe it or not and if it
sounds like you well hit that subscribe button so that we can get this channel 1
subscriber closer to buying the highest mileages McLaren 650s I really want to
buy that car so that all of us can enjoy it on this channel okay so why do people
tend to shy away from high mileage diamonds in the rough because they seem
to be riskier and more things tend to go wrong with higher mileage cars in theory
and I know I know I know that there is a slightly higher chance that something
might fail but cars are built to go 200,000 plus miles and personally I've
had multiple great experiences with higher mileage cars that I've either
driven for free or made money by 1990 a m3 with a hundred and nine thousand
miles on it I made $2,000 my 1968 Mustang with a
hundred and thirteen thousand miles on it I made six grand in my 2008 m3 with
ninety thousand miles on it I made five thousand bucks and the best
thing is that with all these cars I got to buy them and drive them and enjoy
them and making money was just a bonus and that's exactly why I built the ideal
car strategies where I teach next generation car enthusiasts the art of
properly buying and enjoying both low and high mileage ideal cars with the
goal of either breaking even or making money and the main reason that high
mileage examples are really enticing is because the depreciation curve tends to
flatten out with higher mileage cars and as you continue to put more miles on
them and enjoy them they don't is nearly the same amount of value as
lower mileage examples and I'll dig into that more in just a minute but before I
do buying a newer high mileage car is
usually better than buying an older car with less miles I mean cars are meant to
be driven and cars with more miles tend to last longer because they can
lubricate themselves regularly and burn those carbons that are bad for the
engine plus what I found is that more often than not higher mileage cars are
better taken care of since the previous owner has actively been driving it they
usually stay on top of the oil service intervals and overall upkeep of the
vehicle and what do they say out of sight out of mind
fluids and rubber components deteriorate over time what I've seen is that
especially for low mileage fun cars the chance that all service intervals and
oil changes are done on time is way less likely and it's not a deal breaker but
when they're charging a premium for it being low mileage it's a tough pill to
swallow and when we talk about resale value once a car falls into that high
mileage category which definitely differs from every make and model the
depreciation curve really flattens out so a car that has 90,000 miles in the
same make and model has 115k will be worth about the same on the used market
and when you're able to identify what our high miles on a car this is exactly
how you can drive a car for free relatively easily because you could buy
the car at ninety K drive it to 115 K and sell it for about the same dollar
amount but before you say what if anything catastrophic happens yeah an
engine or transmission failing on a newer car with a hundred thousand miles
is relatively rare and if you do your due diligence and get a pre-purchase
inspection which I teach how to properly do in the ideal car strategies you'll be
setting yourself up for the best ownership experience possible dare I say
ideal ownership experience yeah and here's the biggest risk of buying a high
mileage car it's really easy to buy high mileage cars but on the flip side
there's sometimes harder to sell and that's exactly why I teach you how to
properly fill out the proprietary ideal cars desirability guide to understand
what color and factory options will help the car stick out from the rest and
bring a premium remember mileage is just one of the factors that a potential
buyer considers when buying a car other things like condition exterior and
interior color and factory options all play a role in how much someone is
actually willing to pay and this is especially true with higher per floor
it's cars which is my bread and butter they're built with stronger components
than their lesser brethren and can last a very long time with just normal
service so by doing your research you'll know that an e 92 m3 with no sunroof or
with the highly sought-after competition package can make the car substantially
more valuable even with higher miles and a buyer will pay a premium over m3s with
less miles without those options knowledge is king and I love being the
king baby so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you an example of the exact
same two cars with different mileages and break down the cost per mile for you
and since we're on a BMW kick which I usually always am let's do it with a
2013 BMW m3 now the average mileage for this year m3 would be roughly 70 K which
if we look at KBB you can see that it's 29 960 which is what you'd get at a
private party now in 25,000 miles at 95 K it's going to be twenty five thousand
nine hundred and fifteen so if we double the mileage which would be considered
high mileage at a hundred and forty K you can see that it's now nineteen
thousand eight hundred and forty nine and then if we drive that car twenty
five thousand miles to 165 K you can see that it's seventeen thousand four
hundred and thirty five you'd get at a private party so here's the thing if you
buy the car at 70 K drive at 25k and sell it at ninety K it depreciates
roughly 4045 dollars and will cost you about 16 cents per mile to drive the
beast which isn't bad but you pick up one at double the mileage and 140k drive
it for twenty five thousand miles and sell it with a hundred and sixty-five K
and you lose two thousand four hundred and fourteen dollars or less than ten
cents per mile to drive that beast so you can think of it as giving yourself a
nickel and a penny for every single mile that you drive real quick that change
starts to add up baby and as you can see it is clearly cheaper
to buy and drive a higher mileage car and I can't stress this enough because I
know that people in the comments are gonna say Oh higher mileage more issues
everything else yeah you have to get a pre-purchase inspection from a reputable
shop otherwise it's not gonna work this is cheap insurance to know exactly what
could go wrong that you can fix before you buy the car the other thing which is
really important is having documented service history of that car the higher
mileage that is especially crucial in having an engine
ownership experience and personally I've had multiple ideal ownership experiences
with higher mileage cars in fact I know sometimes seek them out so I can get the
best miles out of them my McLaren will hopefully have the highest mileage in
the USA oh and one thing I almost forgot what is that sweet spot to ride the flat
depreciation curve for mileage well I find that between 75 K and 100 K is that
sweet spot where you can enjoy that ideal car for twenty to thirty thousand
miles and then have the best chance to sell that car to the next lucky buyer
for roughly what you paid for it and why that number well first its considered
higher mileage for almost all make and models but also most cars will already
have had their costly major service interval at sixty to eighty K let's say
now if that major service hasn't been done well it's a great negotiation
tactic and an ideal opportunity to buy it enjoy it after you service it of
course at an independent shop and possibly make money on that deal now
that's what I call an ideal car and I want to know what's the highest mileage
car that you've owned what was your ownership experience like did you get a
pre-purchase inspection before you bought that car let us know down in the
comments also snag some ideal swag guaranteed to add five horsepower or six
if your car has over 200 K okay so if you liked this video you're gonna love
