Default Who has the most mileage?

I see a nice looking disco for sale near me with 100k miles. Mine has a trade in of roughly $39k. It has 36k miles. I’m honestly considering trading mine in, pocketing the $18k difference, having zero payment, and taking that one. I make a great living but would basically be a free disco. It would just have miles on it. But let’s be honest most people don’t do anything with their rides that really stresses them. I somewhat do. If all mx has been done to date any reason I should avoid a disco with 100k miles?

Probably lots of long trips on that Disco. It would be hard to run up 100K miles in so few years without taking long trips.
Go for it.

That’s what I figured. I’ve towed a twin engine 8k lb boat from entice Louisiana to Texas and all over on the regular. Feel like if it gets a full inspection and comes out ok it’s just a number.

Given that must be mostly highway miles and assuming all maintenance has been done then it should be a worthwhile deal as 100k is nothing to a modern vehicle.
That said, you will have zero warranty and these things are expensive to repair. However $18k in your pocket buys a lot of repairs even on a Land Rover if you can do some stuff yourself and go independent for the rest.
I’m surprised it’s that cheap though even with those miles given it’s young age. No accidents or anything?
On the face of it though it looks like a good deal.

Still in the early stages but I’ll be doing some digging. I actually just received a quote from liberty bell auto warranty for seven years, no deductible, and an additional 150k miles for $2500 on my current disco. Still read watching the catch but they have high reviews.

I'd be interested to hear what you think about the liberty bell warranty.

I’m actually interested in seeing this as well. Did you find it provides comparable coverage to the factory warranty?
