When buying how many miles is too much? Just like the subject says!</P>


Honestly, i've been looking in the paper for an 87-93 but most of them have like 90k+ mileson THE ENGINE! And you can"presume"they have been beating on the car, so the engine isnt at its highest caliber.</P>


So my question- can i expect to get about 150,000 milesout ofthe car? I know its a general statement but should i even invest on buying a car with 90k miles on it?(it'll be an everyday car btw)</P>


And if i do buy a car with high miles, and the engine does go, what can i expect to change? Do i have to replace the WHOLE engine, or what?</P><edited><editID>stangnoob</editID><editDate>37994.5321527778</editDate></edited>

that's about avg. mileage..just don't over pay...you can tell if a car has been taken care of..there are signs

if everything is serviced and taken care off 90k is nothing. My 89 gt have 198K on it and still runs strong..

Okay, i don't wanna jinx boosted stalion, "But" when his engine goes, will he have to buy a WHOLE nother 302?(hypothetically) or are there parts you can service?</P>

depends on how it "blows" or "goes"
