I've come across a couple some other Zs with really high miles at a cheap cost (makes sense).
One, for instance, is at 70,000 miles with sport and touring for less than 22K. I think it's a great deal but realistically, is it a smart buy? What sort of issues do the high mile Zs have? I'm only going to have the car for about 3 years and I don't put more than 10,000 miles on it per year.

not sure how much $ you make (and dont want to know), but spending $25-28K on a used car only to keep for 3yrs where you dont put more than 10K miles on it out of college is not a very wise decision...
if you must get a different car, get something new and affordable, keep the car for at least 5yrs and save up the rest for your future car or house.
not sure if you have an accessible garage, but car hobby starts with a garage, if you want to do it right.
