Ya there is even some of a drop in price around 70k to 80k miles. I think it is more of a thing where someone wants a weekend driver/fun car to have that maintained like new look and has that new feel, not uncommon with high priced sports cars.

I have seen ones sell on forums very very fast with high mileage but they were sweet cars.

Now that I know how to work on these things I actually have been looking at some very high mileage ones because they are so cheap. I could fix it up to look really sharp and enjoy maybe doing some tracking with my son without worrying about losing a large investment.

Are you handy with cars, do you want to learn to be, if so I would get one with the higher mileage. Things will break down on these cars, I even think age takes it toll not only mileage, mine is at 54k miles (2000 'S') and it has some things that don't work but they really are age related. They are expensive to fix but if you do a lot of the work then it's not a big deal. You can even find parts at ok prices if you shop around...and used parts are a big business so most places will have what you need.

I look at it this way, if I can pick up another 2000 'S' with 135000 miles for 7 or 8k and it was at least not torn up, then man I can have a lot of fun for not much.

What are you seeing you like?
