Default want to purchase a mach 1

I am in the market to purchase a mach 1 with an auto transmission. I am just curious as to what you guys think the cut off would be for mileage? I would like to get soemthing with real low miles but i am just wondering what you guys consider to be the limit.

you can find them under 30 pretty easily, but for you i'd bump it to 40k just to get a lower price....BTW the break in on these cars is like 60k

You can find low mileage Mach's a lot. People bought them when they were released and just left them in their garage.

Depending in the price, I would go for any mileage really. The stuff that goes bad (suspension, brakes etc.) can be replace by superior parts.
