depends on how those 100K miles were done

100K in 2 years is great, means the car was driven mostly on highways and most likely was leased, had it's maintenance every time by the dealer...highway miles don't put much wear on an engine...

100K in 10 years... could go either way ... there's good ones, and bad ones... just like cars that have done 20K in 2 years...you cannot predict anything without a maintenance history , and a ppi...

10 K buys a very nice 951
and those cars are just as reliable as a bimmer if well maintained(5K maintenance money goes a long way )
and bimmers can be unreliable just the same if neglected...
