Okay. So I have found a 2001 GSR, black on black, blades, a/c and ps, leather, sunroof, pretty much top notch. It looks clean as hell in the ad, and they are asking $3,900. Sounds like a good deal to me assuming the body really is as clean as it looks. I will not buy a car if it has any rust on it what so ever, unless it is a tiny pinhead size spot that I can have fixed in the wheel well and not worry about paint. Carfax shows 3 owners, accident free, +$xxx above retail, good report.
Now for the reason I am making this post. 196,348 miles. It is getting up there. I will be rebuilding the head Fall 2012, and overhauling the entire motor Fall 2013. Along with rebuilding the transmission somewhere along the way. I just don't know how many miles are too many. Assuming it was properly maintained before, will the bearings and rings generally last 220k+ miles?
