Default Re: How much are Low or High kms worth?

Highway cruising miles are definitely easier on a car than city miles. The engine is not strained, there's less wear on drive-train and suspension components, and generally there will be less "passenger" wear per kilometre. Problem is that unless you know the person who owned it, how do you know?
Problem with a "country car" is that it could have it's life on back roads and farm tracks.

But my question is really how do I quantify it?
If I am looking at two cars, same model, trim, and age. Tyres, rego, etc, similar.
One has done 50kk, the other 100kk. How much more should I be prepared to pay for the lower k model?
Should I try to base it on some notion of "usable km remaining"? so I might say the 1st has 200kk to give and the other 150kk, so its worth 33% more?
