Re: Age vs. Mileage - Which Matters More?

Maintenance is more important then both age and mileage. If it sat in a garage for 10 years and had nothing done to it, the tires will be dry rotted and possibly all the engine seals. I had a 1984 Ford LTD that I paid $1000 dollars for before I got the SVX. That was in 2003. It had 15,000 miles on it. It bolong to an old lady. It was here husbands car. He rarely drove it and had recently passed away. I drove it for 4 months and every seal in the engine started leaking. It went through oil faster than gas.
