Service records tell me more than mileage. A well-maintained car with higher mileage can be a better purchase than a neglected low-mileage vehicle.
Would you buy a 10-year-old Toyota with high mileage or a newer car from a less reliable brand?

I'm torn between an older Toyota with a lot of kilometers and a newer vehicle from a brand with a mixed reputation.

Answers & Discussion
I always pay for an independent inspection before buying. It has saved me from expensive mistakes more than once.
The seller's attitude matters too. If someone avoids questions or seems rushed, I usually move on.
I learned that the cheapest purchase price is not always the cheapest ownership experience.
