I'm a recent grad from Baylor (any Bears out there?) and I want to make sure I'm making a good decision financially. So the question is, do I buy a car for closer to $25-28k with low miles or one for a few thousand less with higher miles. Will I be paying a significantly more on services/maintenance on the high mile Z?

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.
Honestly I would just find out if the Slave Cylinder has been replace before, How is the Clutch, and If the car suffered from the Steering Lock. Those are the things I wish I have look at before buying my car, so thats my advice to you.
