Most people don't realize that FC's are coming up on being 20 year old cars. Its amazing how many FCs are still on the road and running considering. You could find a cheap FC with high mileage that could be a complete POS and has been wrecked 3 times, and at the same time there can be a car with higher mileage but in far far better condition. Ive known a few guys that bought low mileage TurboIIs, drifted them and now they are total garbage. But they have have 70-90k miles. Just like any car, you must do your due dillegence when looking at a car. Mileage is only one small aspect to look at.

My advice would be to hold out for a creampuff, find one that someone has babied the hell out of, you will still have to throw some cash at it, but not near as much as you would for some roached out piece of **** that has been abused for one to two decades.

I totally agree, spend an extra $1000-$1500 or so and you will be much better off.
