Default Agree completely - I guess you'd have no way of knowing if the person....
was on the road all the time in the city - but I agree, higher mileage likely indicates more highway miles.

I have 94,000miles on mine - when I had coilovers installed, the tech could not believe I did not have any "wear" problems - I told him it was ALL highway - he said that explains everything!

Highway miles are very nice for turbos, clutch, suspension, etc......

I know I might have a problem selling mine someday because of the high miles - oh, well, looks like I'll be keeping it until it rusts!

Default Sedan! Don't do it.
Nothing pisses drivers off more at the track, than the wagon passing them.

Try and find one with blown turbos for about $10k and do the Stage 3 right up front.
