definitely depends on the driver, but still if the price is right that is not a scare either. i gotta a motor with 80,xxx ready to go in if i ever have a problem with mine and i plan to run it till the wheeels fall off without breaking her open and freshening anything up

lol the reason i ask is cause people i know hear the mileage on my cars and **** gold bricks and ask y didnt u buy low mileage cars! i get pissed cause they run great! i bought my 01 ws6 bone stock with 130k for $8200 7 months ago which to me is a steal!! i know have motor swap(forged internals,cams,springs,and hardened pushrods), built trany w/ shift kit, volant cold air,pace setter ceramic coated shorties, custom y-pipe, slp catback, Eibach lowering kit, and tint windows! after it is all said an done i have $11,600 in the car right now! u cant touch a moded 40,000 2001 WS6 in good condition for that price and runs low-mid 12's if i am not mistaken!
the car will be put down next week for heads, stall, and new tune lol
PS.- if u add all the stuff i did to my car which was $3400 in parts/labor the true cost to do all of this to ur car would be WAY higher! it took me 7 months to come also all this stuff and i got all of it for some hella good prices!!!
