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????

 

anybody?

 

i just bought a 98 in january with 90800 mi and dont regret it...make sure you have it checked out before purchase by your family friend and you should be alright...i would buy a 100000mi car, so i probably would buy a 110000 mi car if i got a good deal

I bought mine w/ 118,000 miles. Has 140,000 now. I did replace the clutch though.

 

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.
