I’m a first time car buyer on a tight budget and I’ve found a few options in my price range, but most of them are older cars with high mileage, around 170,000 to 200,000 km. I keep hearing mixed opinions from friends, some say it’s a ticking time bomb, others say it’s fine if it was maintained well. I’ve been trying to read up on buying vehicles with extensive road usage and what specific things I need to check. I understand that wear and tear on parts like the suspension, cooling system, and transmission is normal at this stage, but I’m not a mechanic and I’m worried about missing expensive hidden problems. Does anyone here have experience with high mileage cars in Sharjah? What should I be most careful about, and is a pre purchase inspection always worth it for cars like this?
