Why High Mileage Cars Still Have Value

Most online car-buying tools and dealerships lowball high mileage cars or refuse to buy them entirely. Their algorithms see "150,000 miles" and spit out an insulting number — or no offer at all.

Here's what they're missing:

Make and model matter more than mileage. A Toyota Camry with 180k miles often runs better than a Chrysler 200 with 80k.
Maintenance history matters. A well-maintained high-mileage car is worth more than a neglected low-mileage one.
Highway miles vs city miles. 150k highway miles causes less wear than 80k stop-and-go city miles.
Texas trucks hold value. A high-mileage F-150 or Tundra in Texas is still worth real money because demand is strong.

We evaluate each car individually, not by plugging numbers into a formula. That's why we often pay more than CarMax, Carvana, and other automated buyers for high mileage vehicles.

High Mileage Vehicles We Buy

100,000 - 150,000 Miles

Still plenty of value here. Most modern cars are built to last 200k+ miles. We pay strong offers for cars in this range, especially Japanese brands.

150,000 - 200,000 Miles

The "sweet spot" for budget car buyers. High demand for reliable used cars at lower prices. Toyota, Honda, and trucks do particularly well.

200,000+ Miles

Yes, we buy cars with 200k, 250k, even 300k miles. Value depends heavily on make, model, and condition — but there's always a buyer.

Brands That Hold Value at High Mileage:

Toyota — Camry, Corolla, Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Highlander
Honda — Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey
Lexus — ES, RX, GX, LX (essentially bulletproof)
Ford — F-150, Super Duty trucks
Chevrolet — Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban
Subaru — Outback, Forester (AWD demand stays strong)

What Affects High Mileage Car Value?

When we evaluate a high mileage car, we look at much more than the odometer:

✓ Maintenance Records

Oil changes on schedule? Timing belt replaced? Transmission serviced? Records prove the car was cared for and significantly increase value.

✓ Mechanical Condition

Does it run well? Any warning lights? Smooth transmission? A high-mileage car that drives great is worth far more than a low-mileage car with problems.

✓ Body & Interior

Rust, dents, and torn seats hurt value. A clean interior and solid body add hundreds to your offer, regardless of mileage.

✓ Type of Miles

Highway commuter miles are easier on cars than city driving with constant stops, starts, and idle time. We ask about your typical use.

✓ Make & Model Reliability

Some cars are built to last. A Toyota with 200k miles is a different story than a Dodge Dart with 200k miles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the highest mileage car you've bought?

We've purchased Toyota trucks with over 400,000 miles that were still running strong. If it runs and drives (or even if it doesn't), we'll make an offer.

Will I get more selling privately?

Maybe — but it takes significant effort. High mileage cars are harder to sell privately because buyers are skeptical. You'll field lots of questions and lowball offers. Many sellers find our instant cash offer worth more than months of hassle.

Do you buy high mileage cars that don't run?

Yes. High mileage cars that need repairs are often worth more than you think — for parts, rebuild projects, or mechanics looking for a project. See our junk car page →

How do you compare to CarMax for high mileage cars?

CarMax's algorithm heavily penalizes mileage. We typically offer significantly more because we evaluate each car individually rather than running it through a formula.
