Thread: How many miles is too many miles

I like the SSEI's, I'm on my second one. First was a 97 with 120,000 miles got rid of it 4 years ago. Now have the 2003 SSEI with 181,000 miles. Blew one of the shift solenoid valves a year ago and rebuilt the tranny. Besides the performance stuff listed below everything is stock and it runs great. Note had the rust fixed by the gas door, it rusts form the inside out! Was thinking about getting a 2005 SLE (3800) as my next car and maybe a top swap.

Go with the high mileage, good body condition car.
Think of it this way: If you can REALLY tell that the cleanliness of the car has been maintained, odds are that owner would have kept up on maintenance as well....I run a small detailing gig on the side and I can tell you the people that care enough to keep their cars looking good, keep up on proper maintenance.
