If that's all your budget will permit, you may not have much of a choice. But a well maintained s2k should be ok. The fewer owners the better, even better if the last owner held it for some time and put a fair amount of mileage on the car. I would prefer to buy from someone who held the car and drove it quite a bit rather than an owner who is trying to unload it after a few months of ownership and having put little mileage on the car.

Seriously, if it burns clean, shifts smooth, and the price is right, there is no reason not to buy a high mileage s2k.

Just take the same precautions you would when buying any car with 100k + miles. If it's in good shape and has been well maintained you should be straight.
