Corolla clutch life?

[cujmh69]

I am interested in buying a new '08 since I can get a good deal ahead of the new '09's arriving. I'd like to buy a manual for the improved gas mileage. I've owned sticks in the past, but never for longer than 1 year or so. I plan on keeping this for a while. Any estimates on how many miles an average clutch is due to last? I'm just trying to factor in all costs before the purchase. Thanks.
