looking into 5spd

well i'm selling the I30 and gonna get something cheaper. so right now i have a local dealership(family friend) looking for a 95/96 five speed max for me. anyways would any of you buy a 5spd with over 110000 miles on the odometer. i really cant afford one with low miles cause i'm gonna be buying a house soon. i'll have between 4500-5500 dollars to spend. what would you do????

I have 5sp w/ 130k

i have had mine (96 se 5 sp.) since 97 and got it w/ 17K. Just replaced tranny and clutch at 125K. Differential bearings were going out in tranny and it is easier to replace whole tranny than rebuild it. Did clutch too. Other than that, never had a problem. Just check to make sure it is not leaking tranny fluid from those bearings. I guess it is typical of the 5sp. If it is, then just plan on a new tranny and clutch. Hope this helps.
