Andy- that milage is not too bad, heck it's darn average; I know people w/2k2 rides with 25K miles.... I have 130K on my 97854 and i bought it 2.5 yrs ago w/113k- all records. No MAJOR problems since(xcept for ABS unit and blown bulbs), just replace lots of parts with "performance/better" ones(ie. K&N filters, kevlar pads, rotors, suspension, rims, speakers, IPD grille,) and a few minor mods(3 turns on WG, cat back exo, synt. fluids,). My rule of thumb is, if a car is relatively old(5-8yrs) and has "low" milage, it's either a "show car"(ie. owner has 2-3 other cars so this is a weekend gig) or a ticking bomb/problem car which have/had problems and was always "down". Most times it's the latter, cause most owners would want to keep his/her "show car" for whatever reasons($$$$ later on). So, the moral of this is: I would take the high-milage w/records and common sense, over a low milage with questionable past... Good luck, BD
