No matter what ever anyone tells you stay clear of any high mileage sports cars, at 65k + miles even on most babbied cars they will show some signs of wear and tear will need some attention. Now if the car is abused then who really knows how bad it is until something breaks.

The only way I would buy a high mileage car is if I bought it from a close friend or relative and knew how it was driven and if mileage was qiuck highway etc and I got the car for a song.

If you buy a used sports car try and get one with 10k - 19k on it, the best ones are the ones that ppl tired of or changed hands every 2 yrs, you really don't want something that was used as a daily driver.

Note there are a lot of ppl that will buy a sports car every 3-5 yrs and only put on 2k - 3k per year as it is only a recreational vehicle and it will have only 10-15k after 5 yrs, etc.

The main thing is to be patient and look around, great deals come around all the time and make sure there is absolutely no rust on the underside of the car.
