New car

[jball1105]

Hey guys, my daily driver, Nissan Sentra, might be totaled (I was stopped at a stop sign and a kid hit me head on cutting a corner). Anyway, I am looking at getting a used Charger. The one I like so far that is in my price range is a 2012 SXT with 137k miles. I'm not sure about that many miles and was wondering if you all have any feedback on how these cars are at high mileage? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Did he have any major repairs?

Only Jeep related repairs like bent axles and flat tires my brother is not the most mechanically savvy person besides that he's just change the oil regularly and it ran fine

With today's American technology (we finally caught up with the Japanese & Germans), 137,000 is barely broken in. It's not like the old days when a car hit 100,000 and it was junkyard time.

Having said that, I suggest you still drive the car, smell the transmission fluid for a "burnt" smell, check the oil filler cap for "white mush" and all the other typical used-car-buying-things.... but 137k ain't nothin'

There were some issues with the cylinder heads on 3.6 v6's around that time. Check into it first, it may be prudent to step up to a newer one if possible.

If You're going to have a Charger, then have a V-8.
