Following you guys advice (thanks for the tip,Cougar) from my earlier post, I've found this '03 Forester:

My question is: Is 82,000 alot of mileage on this car?

Worth it to you guys?

 

Thanks again

myself if...

 

1-i had the money i'd buy it

2-the mileage wasn't alot of stop-n-go driving.mixed highway an city miles i'd go for.

In general, yes 82K is a lot of miles for a 2 yr. old car...but I wouldn't let that scare you off right away...some member of this board have 3X that on their soobs.

 

It looks like another good one you found (from the outside anyway). I would just use the same precautions you used on the last one..run a carfax, ask about service records if they are available, headgaskets, etc.

 

Let us know how you make out.
