I am glad that I don't want or need a new car since my favorite era of cars are from 1985-1995 with a few models up till 2001. High mileage never bothered me it just depends on maintenance and type of car. The 370Z is a good reliable car for the most part except for some small things and like the 350Z it is extremely easy to work on. I would have no problem buying a higher mileage Z. I think my lowest mileage car is my 944 and it has like 130,000mi on the body and my highest mileage is my daily with 275,000mi on engine/body. I think about a car payment and I can put a new motor in my Volvo so hard to justify another car. I also have a 230,000 mile BMW, 170,000mi truck and a 185,000mi expedition.

I guess your opinion of high mileage changes when you can work on something yourself. I look for cars that are easy to work/reliable rather then low mileage. P.S. Toyota might be the worst brand ever for older cars. Ever try to get parts for an old Toyota? Yea, Good luck!
