But a blk on blk fully loaded SE with a 5spd is pretty rare. And it is in excellent condition. Its in as good of shape as my 2000 TL. You would never be able to guess that this car has 100k miles on it. It looks and drives like a brand car.
Thanks for the replies everyone.

Thinking of buying '97 Max but it has 101k miles. How well do the Gen4's hold together after 100k. In my experience, you can keep any car running almost indefinitely if your willing to pay. Seems like some cars are like a time bomb. Once they reach a certain mileage or age everything starts breaking (i.e, Jetta). Other cars you just keep putting oil in and replace the timing belting every once in while and they keep running (i.e. Accord).
I know you guys are probably a little biased. I just want to get an idea of what Im about to get myself into. What should I look for? What kind of major services should of been performed already at 100k? Thanks
