Open Question: Older car with less miles, or newer car with more?

6 January 2009, 4:45 pm

I am looking into buying a used truck. The two i am deciding between are a 1999 GMC Sierra with 90,000 miles, or a 2002 GMC Sierra with 130,000 miles. They are both in good condition and are running well. The 1999 has a short bed, which i like a lot better than the 2002's long bed, but i am wondering if it is worth the age, or if the miles balance it out. The 1999 is $1000 cheaper than the 2002, but i can easily afford either. I don't need suggestions to look at other cars, because these two are being offered cheap by a friend of mine. Thanks in advance for your answers! I realize condition is important, but they have both been inspected and are fairly equal as far as condition. I am just wondering if miles are more important, or age. And i forgot to mention: Most of these miles are city, as they were both used in Houston for daily driving.... Read More »
