Hello everyone,

I'm looking to buy my wife a 07' SXT and I was wondering how well these fare at higher mileage. The one I am considering is in great shape and upkept, but has 91,000 miles on it. I drove it already, and all seems fine.

She won't be puting but 40 miles a day on it, just for the daily drive to work. A small car to pair up with my Dakota in the Family...

I'm new here, but look forward to being a poster, Thank you!!!

 

Welcome aboard.
These engines seem to be pretty reliable. They have been around awhile. I wouldn't be scared of one with only 91K on it. I would give a good check to the front end components just to make sure everything it tight such as tie rod ends and such. I haven't heard any complaints about them.

 

Thank you lxman1...

I guess what I should ask is, to all of you that own a 07' Caliber, how many miles do you have on it?

 

106,000 I need front struts (one is leaking) and today my radiator fans stop running other than that shes a great daily driver that goes about 120 miles a day.

 

The only thing I would mention is that if it has
the CVT(auto) it's coming due for the 100,000 mile
servicing which depending on the dealer (and they
are the only ones who can do it properly) your
looking at $250-350.00.

 

Thank you for the heads up.... Any other costs I should know about??

 

Nothing major. Just check the owners manual for what services are due around that mileage.
