I actually shop for newer used cars with higher mileage. I think the value deduction per mile is overly high for a car under 10 years old. In some ways running a car 30,000 miles a year is better that one ran 5000 miles a year if every one of those low mile car trips was only 2 miles done 2 different times on the day meaning 2 heat cycles, where the 30,000 mile car was done with just one heat cycle a day.
Sure the normal wear parts may have had to have been done more times but at the point I buy them even the low mile car probably needs all that stuff replaced as well. So why not buy the 150,000 mile 5 year old car at 1/3 the price of the 25,000 mile 5 year old car otherwise identical.
