I have to admit, I bought mine this year. I was looking for something with Low miles, thinking that was the way to go. If I would have only bought this one with a few more, it would have been a different story.
The car had 1800 or so miles on it. Looked great, sounded great, ran great...Then bang less than 200 miles later the cam roller blew up and went through the block. I do not blame the guy I bought it from, there is no way he could have know that was coming unles he tore down the motor, pulled the cam and saw that one was going. (if he did that and didnt replace it, well you get the pic). Now I am about a week away from finishing the rebuild (did it my way). Oh and buy the way I have been about a week away now for, i dont know maybe 3 weeks...
If I had to do it all over again, I would buy something with more miles, get a better deal, and have a car broken in better... Unfortunately I didnt, now I have a car that I paid good money for, is sitting for half the season, dumped a boat load of additional money into, will never get back, and cant wait to start driving (priceless!!)
So yeah, the mileage thing effects the price way too much...
