Is this for real? $11K for a Pontiac with 360K on it?

Can you actually put 363,111 miles on a 2003 Grand Am? Was a team of guys getting paid to drive this thing back and forth from NY to LA without stopping except for gas?
Did someone really put $30K worth of gas in this thing?
Would anyone actually pay that much?

290 miles a day would do it.

An old boss of mine has a 1984 Honda with 400,000+ miles on it. He does all the regualr maintenance and it keeps chugging along. I wouldn’t pay 11K for it, though.

Interesting. Could just be a data entry error. I’d be tempted to contact the seller just to see if it’s for real.

I actually pulled a “fair market value” on the car from Edmunds.com, and the “price people actually would pay a dealer for a car like this” came out to $10,500.
I’m all for driving high mileage vehicles, but… you KNOW when you buy this thing that the engine is approaching the point where it will need an overhaul, and that transmission CAN’T have much life left.

I’m not so sure of this, it could be, but if the car was driven mainly on highways for long distances the engine and transmission were not really ‘pushed’ near it’s limit all that often.

Now this is a extreme example of it and 300K+ miles is a long distance on the car.
