Mileage Question
I have never put more that 40,000 miles on any vette I have owned so maybe you guys can help me out here. My brother is looking at a 1998 vert 1SB automatic with 78,000 miles on it. Are there any specific problems we should be looking at and should this mileage cause us any undo concerns. Car Fax looks good. It is a two owner car with nothing exceptional on the report.
Thanks.
Thanks.

as stated, ton of good threads
age is usually more important than mileage
a 2009 car with 100k will often be trouble free
a 1989 with 100k will need to have many parts replaced
also depends on how it was driven and cared for
