Well thats very heavily dependent on maintence, especially with a sports car. Figure a Twin Turbo with only average maintence should be good to 200k on the engine and 120-150k on the turbos. If you have a picture or any information on a car you are looking to buy, then we could probably give you a much better idea of what to expect.

DUDE, WHAT THE F***!?!?!?! can i get some puntuation, besides a random comma every so often??? :lol: im not saying i spell everything correctly and i always use correct punctuation, but i think most people can figure out whether i am talking about a car or a horse with a hemorrhoids...
