i am thinking of buying the car in the link below, but it has 75k miles on it already, how long do these things usually last??

2005 Chrysler 300 Touring, $11,877 - Cars.com

 

That mileage is really low compared to the ones I work on. I don't think I would get an AWD unless you live in the snow belt. I see them regularly at 150K plus. Being that the car is from MASS, I would be worried about corrosion.

 

im in Wisonsin so RWD is no good.

and what do you mean corrosion? like falling apart?? and why is that specific to MASS??

 

Anywhere they use a bunch of salt on the roads or on the coastline things corrode. Never said it was specific to MASS

 

oh ok. so overall you think it would be a good buy?? I'm mainly concerned about the life expectancy, but have hear form several that they last 150k+

 

its irrelevant any way u look at it no one can tell u how long something lasts

 

I donot know about the 300, but my wife and I bought a 2002 sebring used with 2 previous owners, one of which was a rental company. Its right now at 259XXX miles. Yes almost 260 thousand miles. I dont care what anyone says about these cars, that's really close to 300 thousand and that's pretty epic for an automobile. Its the 13th vehicle I've owned and I would definitely own another. And at that mileage yes it has problems, needs new struts, needs new tone wheel in the bearing assembly on drivers side, and I'm presently going to fix this water outlet housing because of a leak, but with all of that I have to watch my speed with cruise turned off because before I know it I'm going 90mph. I'm impressed for as old as it is at 19 years old.

 

I've got 259,000 miles on our 2006 300. It's not really given us any problems. Just normal wear items.

 

That's makes me feel better!
