Comments by "JackTannehillPromoter" (@njsongwriter) on "Here's Why One Owner Cars are BETTER cars to Buy as Used Cars!" video.
The last Toyota we bought was a one owner car. It also had original papers with it including extended warranty. Still when we bought it the warranty was expired cause the vehicle was ten years old. But because it had less than 19,000 miles on it we were able to get a 4 year, 48,000 mile aftermarket warranty with it. That warranty just expired a month or two ago but before it did it covered the intermediate steering shaft and a Toyota rebuilt transmission. We now have 68,000 miles on our 2009 RAV4. We've had it for three years. It just passed inspection. I changed the front brake pads last year. I think the original pads were on it when I changed them. The coolant looks new but at 13 years old it must have been replaced a couple times. Brake fluid...? I don't know... How can I tell? We change the oil every 5,000 miles. I do it myself. We had the upstream O² sensor replaced last month. I purchased the downstream sensor but haven't replaced it yet. I bought Denso brand because I believe them to be OEM. I did not buy the ones on Amazon because they say made in China and are about one third the cost. I paid for sensors that were assembled in the USA.

As clean as the inside of that engine is, I don't think it matters. It could also be used for pleasure trips only, who knows? (I see an explanation above apparently from the owner. So there we have it.) One way to tell might be wear on the pedals which would indicate city miles or road rash on the front end which would indicate highway miles. This car might go for a million miles.

Good question.
