I'm not sure if I'm going to buy another, but I'd like to get opinions on how many miles is too many. Who has more than 400K? Am I nuts?
expect to be replacing a lot of stuff as it may or may not fail....but with those only if the price was cheap enough...like real cheap...what was the price? and can you live with the body damage..it would make for a good daily driver.
