re: What do you consider reasonable milage on a used truck?

I buy and sell used cars and trucks. I think the highest miles I can remember on a car I sold was 317,000 which was a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, and it ran good. I inspect and drive trucks and cars every week with around 250k. I've drove a Chevy truck gas engine with 505k. A honda civic with 380k. Both were in excellent mechanical shape.

If I was going to buy a truck to keep, I would buy one with real high miles because it may be in better kept shape then one with 100k. The sweet spot of a healthy margin for me is 220k-250k right now. Because most dealers are scared but a small percentage of the buying public knows that odometer reading has little to do with anything in reality, other than price. You never know how difficult it's going to be to get that 100k truck to 200k, but the 250k truck has already surpassed it. No reason to think it's gonna break tomorrow.
