how many is to many???

[matt11583]

for a tt 300zx how many miles is too many to have on it when you buy it....when do they start to break down....

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.

yah it just matters how good it was taken care of and if all the scheduled maintenance was done on it

yeah i hear some cars are only good for 100,000 but there are those cars out there with 250 on them that have more umph then when they were young

DUDE, WHAT THE F***!?!?!?! can i get some puntuation, besides a random comma every so often??? 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...
