Subaru Liberty or a Mondeo Wagon? What is the importance of previous km's when purchasing second-hand?

I'm in the market for a second-hand car. I have narrowed my shortlist to a Subaru Liberty or Ford Mondeo Wagon, about 3-4 years old. They can fall in the same price range, however the Subaru will have significantly more km's on the odometer. Given the Subaru's reputation for longevity, however, is this important? Is it better to get a Subaru with 150000 on the clock, or a Ford Mondeo with around 60000km?

The more miles, or in your case, KMs, the more "used" the car is. Higher miles=lower value. The valuation guides usually reduce a cars value for excessive miles.

bottom line= lower miles=better.

  • Can Ford trace my vin number and give me details about previous owners on my 66 mustang I have a 1966 mustang and i heard that if you go to a Ford dealership that the can give you the list of owners, but i don't know if they can since the vin number is only 11 digits and not 17. I can't use the data plate because its not original.
  • Is purchasing a Ford with 80,000 miles a good choice? So basically my boyfriend and I have been looking for a perfect van to road trip in, and we saw this absolutely perfect Ford Econoline 150 that is cutom made. The interior is in mint condition as well as the exterior and as far as I know the engine and everything is in perfect shape. Basically my question today is if this purchase would be worth it or do fords burn out quickly? The van is 1995 with 80,000 miles and it is $11,000. I think it is pretty good deal but I need a second opinion.
