Exclamation Buying a R32 w/high miles.. Advise!

I saw this 04 R32 on a dealer and their asking price is $18000, but the thing is that the car has 77,000 miles on it. I know thats lot of miles for the year but its price is way lower than other R32.It it a one owner car and I know I could talk them to lower the price, but does anybody think this is a good deal and a good reliable car?

I love the R32, but the reliability is just mediocore. Check out KBB.com for a good price.

Have them put it on a hoist and check for leaks especially the haladex differential. Ask for service records including haladex oil changes. IF there arent any service records dont buy it. The diff fluid needs to be changed every 20k. The plugs, fuel, air,pollen every 30k. Also check the clutch function. If you cant get 3rd gear rubber it needs a clutch aka 1800-2k.
