ANYONE HIRING? ISO NEW JOB

Miles don't equal abuse. Low miles don't mean its going to be trouble free. Check out the car thoroughly and you'll get what you pay for. Mileage is just a number on the dash. Some of the worst vehicles I've owned had low miles. Some of the best had 180k plus when I bought them. I had two GM fullsize 4wd SUV's with over 180k miles and neither of them had as many problems as you mentioned with your car. The only thing I recall doing to either of them besides regular maintenance was a radiator in one. There are a LOT of great deals out there because people are so stuck on the mileage of a car as if it means something.

He's absolutely correct:thumbsup:

It's not the miles it's the way those miles were put on.

A low mileage, hard driven, not well maintained car will be a much bigger problem for you than a higher mileage, highway driven, properly maintained one:thumbsup:

For what you want to pay, I think you're going to have a problem getting something in the milage range you're looking at.
 
Well, mileage can make a difference on cosmetic stuff. When I bought my 87 300ZX I paid quite a bit, but with only 124,000 miles on the car, the interior was mint. However, since it had been sitting for a long time it didn't run so good. A few sensors had gone bad that I have since replaced.

Back when I first started driving, I got an 85 Corolla with 320,000 miles on it. Ran better than a lot of cars from the 90s with far fewer miles, and that motor lasted through a lot of drifting until the tranny went out.

My suggestion when buying any car is always the same, go see it in person. If they did all the proper maintenance on the car then the mileage is less of a concern. But if you truly want a low mileage 05-06, wait for just that. Just remember that these cars won't be getting any younger...

What is your degree field? I graduated from USF with a BA in Interdisciplinary Social Science. Basically you pick two concentrations, I chose criminology and sociology.

What sort of salary are you looking for? I would love to get something around 40 but would take mid to high 30's with benifits. However anything more I would not turn down.ha

ok well if you ask me I Think and just my 2 cents... why dont you become a cop. the academy is great go down to the sheriff's office and apply. its a great career and depending on were you go you will be making 40-45 thousand a year plus all benefits paid for and retirement. i have been a L.E.O for three years and now im starting with the border patrol as a federal agent and im only 23. look into it you might like what you see.
