high miles...is it worth it? want to pull trigger

Found an 03 with brembos, manual, navi, grey on black, front spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler, 2 sets of wheels (1 for winter, 19s with new tires)....heres the deal it has 131k miles. he says its had its 120k work done already...

I coudnt find much info on high mile Gs. hes asking $18,500 and kbb said its worth 16ish. Just curious if anyone has had any issues with high mile Gs.

Thanks guys!

Why get a car with such high mileage while there few out there with similar asking price but with much much lower mileage?

This is one same options as your high mileage one's, eventho its bit far from you, still would be "better" than one with high mileage, but that just me.

I got my 04 G w/ 58k for 19.5k, granted I don't have navi or the extra wheels, but with that high mileage it seems way over priced to me. As far as a fair price, I'd say its up to you to decide how much that other stuff is worth to u and then if u're okay with buying a car with so many miles on it.

These cars are built well enough to run solid until 200k miles if well maintained. Of course once you get to the 120k level, that's where lots of little and some big things start to need repair. The extras on this deal are tempting but you can find similar coupes on ebay for that price with half the miles. You can use the $$ you'll save on repairs to get the extras.

Personally I would never buy anything with that kind miles on it...yeah nissans/infinitis are made very well, but things start to go wrong no matter how well the car is built...
