Default how many miles is too many?

Once my license suspension is up in august i am 92% sure that i want to buy an s2k, but the only ones i can find online that are really cheap have like 120k miles on them.. i'd buy a nice newer one but i wanna still have money to make it go fast how many miles can you put on an s2k before it just has too many to deal with?

Anyways, are there any problems with s2k's like parts that tend to go out after so many miles? like some cars you can almost predict when the clutch dies or the head gasket shits its pants.

there are quite a few people on here with over 100000 miles. Idealy you would want one that costs less, but if you justhave to have one and cant afford one with lower miles, then go fro it i guess.

it all depends on maintenance and how the car was driven.


the engines will last a loooooooong time but you got to keep it top notch. scheduled oil changes, contstant fluid level checking, scheduled fluid changes, proper driving, tune ups, plugs etc etc...these all play into how long the engine will last
