What Is Your Used Car Sweet Spot?
One of my good friends and long-time TTAC commenters asked me this question.
Hey Steve,
If you have a moment, what are the high and low values right now at auction for the following:
2000 Chevy Monte Carlo SS 40K miles gold/tan
2006 Mustang GT premium 27K maroon/tan
2006 G6 GTP folding hardtop 53k black/black
I could only give him one response and it wasn’t, “Go play darts and put some numbers together!”
The answer came in three simple words.
Condition, condition, condition.

It appears that you have picked up where Steve Lang left off. That is answering general automotive questions that puzzle automotive enthusiast.
My question, what average speed would be good or bad for a used vehicle? I am in the market for a used truck (3-6yrs old), and have noticed that these newer trucks have mileage and hours tracked in the dash display screen. It is easy math to calculate the average speed for the life of the vehicle. What should I look for?
Or run from?
Best and brightest?
