That's probably the better value but I'm looking for something I can daily for several years more. I've seen some in the 30-60k mile range that are several G's less than the 17k mile car's price.Some people expect stupid money just because of those miles. Save your money and buy a 100,000 mile example for under $5,000.
I've looked at quite a few sub 100k mile DTS models near me for under $10k, and they are all not so great either mechanically or cosmetically. Sadly I think the "super nice condition" ones are gonna be over $10k.
There's a 65k mile 2009 for $9k near me. It's probably just as reliable and will last a similar lifespan as another one that's got 40k mi for $14k, but I can't get over the fact that the 65k mi $9k has a lot of cosmetic issues, scratches, etc. I take care of my cars and I want something that looks good to me with some pride of ownership. Part of the reason I'd rather drive a V8 caddy over a Toyota Corolla even though the Corolla is way more reliable and efficient.
