Default S2000 miles

So my car is about to hit 89k miles xD yes a lot.. but its my only car since i sold my Mustang and my accord... so i use it as a DD car... any problem i should be worried at these high miles?

I change oils every 3k miles and transmission oil when i feel the gear kinda grinding...

you think i should sell it and use the money + few savings and get a less miles one?

its a 2002 AP1

the car still drives like it was new or BETTER!! I take care of that car like it was a baby...

in my personal opinion i hate new cars.. i feel them slow... a car with 50K~ miles feels better than a 0miles one...

Nothin to worry about. My 2004 has 95k and runs like a champ. Burns no oil, has no ticking and is in great shape. Keep doing routine maintenance and it will run fine!!!

Low mileage S2000's will become rarer and rarer, I upgraded my first my00 to a my06, she's now a garage queen and a keeper. Saved up for a DD. You might want to consider going this way as well.

Nope. Miles are just miles.

Only if you're looking to lose some money for virtually no gain.

When you feel it "kinda grinding"? How many miles?
