 Car Value Useful Trouble free life Mileage vs Age for Teen Car

How do you look at Car age versus mileage.

For me I had been looking at enjoyable car life as 10 years or 100,000 miles. In terms of trade in value it seems that at 5 years dealers will give you 50% of what you paid before tax.

I am looking for a car for my kid to commute to college next year.

With car loans on new cars a record low rates it seems hard to buy any used car, very little more for new compact car.

But giving my kid a new car seems ridiculous since has no respect for other peoples property So Sad

In looking at used compact cars in the 10 to 14k price range, you see cars like 2012 with 100,000 miles and 2006 with 37,000 miles both being sold for $14,000. Which is better? Maybe neither! Why would I bother with a 2006 corolla at $14k when a 2014 is $19k?

The reason I can see is to have the car intentionally be more of a beater at any cost just to not spoil the boy Smile

Yooper,

I remember at the High School parking space orientation meeting, they said that when picking a car for a teen SIZE MATTERS. That could be taken a couple of ways, like a small car is easier to park or the your thinking small can be deadly.

No question most sedans of any size do not fare well when an SUV hits them from the side in particular.

And yup AWD should be really be on it... for use here.. probably need a compact SUV at the smallest...

As far as used AWD compact SUV's not many people giving up their used ones after this winter, not at low prices anyway.
