Testing FD Tomorrow

Alright guys, Im going out to test this FD. I called the guy today to get some details. Engine has 1500 miles, everything else has a whopping 200,000. He says everything is in great condition. It also includes the $6,000 stereo system (like I care). I was just wondering if theres anything I should look out for. Ive already checked the suggested sites, like http://robrobinette.com/buyaused.htm but I was just wondering if anybody has any other things to look out for, due to personal experience. Thanks guys, later.

Unless he is selling for $6k or so, why would you bother buying a car with 200k miles?

I paid just over $1k more than he is asking for a car with 44k miles.

i dont care if carmen electra masturbated in this car, 14,900 is way too much for 200k miles..even if you plan on keeping this car and not selling it ever, the fact of favoring his stupid mind of making A TON of cash on you doesnt seem to make sense and its just stupid..

Haha that sounds good RX7Wishing. Yes, I know its too much, I was planning on talking him down, and if he wouldnt go low enough Id just walk away. RX7Wishing, do you know where Motorworld is? I work there and Im going to try to get like an hour off, which Im sure Ill be able to. It's be nice if you could pick me up there and we could go check this out =). Im not sure if my PMs are working but if you could tell me your name and number that would be nice.

my last FD had almost 200k on the chassis, and it was one of the cleanest, mechanically sound FD ive ever had. As long its been taken care of, there aint anything wrong with having such a high mileage car. Of course i wouldent pay 14,900 for it though, unless it is highly modified.

What is the most you guys would pay for it, assuming everything is in great shape? The guy said that all he does is drive it to work, and he takes good car of it, keeps it garaged, etc.
