they will last you a long time. i got a friend in a 99 ss with 160,000 miles with a cam and spray. he is going to do a heads/cam pretty soon and will probably see the 11.'s.

My 1998 w/ ~121K miles runs very strong!
I am sure that the heads could probably be cleaned up (damn PCV). Other than that it runs great. I am still on the stock WP and everything else... Just had to change the clutch twice.

I have a 136K 99 WS6 i picked up for 7500 bucks, pics in sig.
Its all about maintance, I cant stress the importance of it.
I have a cam, 243 heads, and bolt ons, car does fine.
Dont worry about it, think if it this way ever have a prob with the motor/tranny..its just an excusse to get something bigger and better

I personally would go with that 02. lol. But I have one so thats probibly why I say that. I bought my 02 with 64k on it and only paid 11.5 And that was in the summer time, Usually they try and ask more in the summer time for sports cars, cause that is when most people like to drive them. I think I got a good deal. I currently have 90k on it. And am getting ready for a heads and cams package.
Its all in how you take care of it, and drive it, If you drive it hard every single time you take it out, yeah it probibly won't last at long.

I paid 17K for my 01SS with 6K on the clock, 3 years ago. The plastic was still on the radio and the passenger floor board. There was still little nubs on the factory Eagle F1's too. I would haggle the price.
