In 8 years your dad put on 10,000 miles.? lol, thats what I put on in 6 months sometimes. You can never reset your miles to 0! You want low miles go buy a new car but even those have 50-100 miles on them.

he probably meant 100,000...

Either way, no need to add a new engine..and if it has 10K miles on it, cherish it...

...then add boost

10k? I started on my max at 100k+.(It was paid for by then.) Don't worry about the mileage.10k or 100k just keep the fluids & filters changed, use 92+ octane gas, and you'll have it for a long time.

My dad gave me his 95 a month or so ago. It has 138,000 on it right now and I just bought a CAI. I will probably keep this car for maybe a few more months and then look for a 5-Spd

100,000 is young, i drive my max 150 a day, the most expensive thing to fix AT 170,000 miles was the transmission..other then that it has been smooth sailing, she has never EVER left me stranded....
