Just purchased a 2014 chevy traverse with 70000 miles on it for 17500 did I over pay just think it's a lot of miles for a 2014 but talked to a few people before purchasing it and was told that's fine it will probably get 200000 miles out of it?

If those 70,000 miles were as a rental within a urban area, good luck. If those 70,000 miles were highway commuting to work, not as bad. So, what is the history of the vehicle and miles? Also, in vehicle terms, a year can be 11 months long. That means you can have a vehicle put into service in 2013 (3 years old) or late 2014 (2 years old). You need to check the first in-service date to see if we have 20,000+ miles a year or 30,000+ miles a year.

As far as value, that depends on lots of things such as trim, features, accident history, etc, etc...

Was all highway miles according to the sales man who sold me it told me he lady who owned it before me owns her own business and drive back and froth to clients houses. Said it was well taken care of I mean it looks brand new still very clean. Kelly blue book says it should be sold from between 18000 to 19500 the dealer originally had it up for 19000 I purchased it for 17500 I was just concerned about if that was a lot of miles for a 2014

What does the carfax or autocheck say? Although they may not have all the information, they can have information a "salesperson" isn't telling you.

Even if you did overpay, it's too late do anything about it now. Hopefully you researched the vehicle properly beforehand.

Wasn't so much worried about the price I paid more about if 70000 miles is to much for that year vehicle I checked the car fax says the woman got it in November of 2013 then it just shows every oil change ever done she kept up with the maintenance and did everything it needed

Look, you BOUGHT it. It's done. Why bother with regrets? It's done, it's gone, bye bye.
Move on with life. Stomach ulcers are not easy to treat.

I bought a Cadillac SRX a few years ago of similar age that actually had higher mileage. It was a fine car.
It's pretty darn hard to put that many miles on a vehicle without a lot of it being highway.

Don't worry about it and enjoy your new-to-you car.
