110K miles? Sure, it’s over 27 years, but I don’t know if I’d call anything over 100K ‘low’ miles.

Cool color combination, but too bad about the automatic.

There is a quite a bit of truth in here - ‘runs and drives’. No indication on how well it runs, just that it runs. Sometimes that’s all you need...

100k miles is only low if the car is a 27-year-old Toyota Corolla.

Exactly. I’m willing to bet that this car was inherited, and the person selling it is not exactly an enthusiast.

Low KM is below 200k km here in denmark it seems, if not less for newer cars.

110k miles in 27 years means 4k a year. That’s low.

As an average, yes, but I doubt the car was driven like that. I’d be willing to bet it was 80K in the first 10 years and then 30K, with deferred or non-existent maintenance, in the next 17.

Diesel truck with 200k miles. Low mileage! All highway! Only $25k!

I did buy my 11 year old 525i with 181k on it, so I’m not afraid of high mileage, but at least I knew going in that the miles were above average. 200k on the highway in a diesel? Just broken in, especially if it's a class 8.

It’s puffery just like ‘clean’ or ‘rare’...doesn’t mean anything.

That’s low mileage for a 1987.

Under 50k for an enthusiast car, under 100k for a normal car.

I speak in kilometers.

Low is where you look at the reputation of the car and don't feel you are taking much of a risk (or any risk at all).

Haha yeah, diesel mileage on commercial trucks are nuts. You would think the ODO is in kilometers or something. I like mileage on a car, it means it has actually been used. Obviously maintenance is key but that’s part of any car ownership.
