The oldest Starmarked car you can buy now would be a 1995(7 model years old)

Rich.....I have heard that the 1997+ cars are actually pretty reliable...but TRUST me.....the repair costs in comparison to the 126 are VERY much different as the car is a lot more complicated and has a lot more systems involved in it....really watch out for AC work..it can be very expensive...although some people have never had problems...my tech me that the most problems came from cars that were in warm humid climates
You also might want to budget more than $30,000 if you want a starmarked car with mileage that low

good luck
