Nice car and nice price. I just keep searching for the right MT though.

And I'd be interested to see if there are any issues that arise with your "high-mileage" car. Please keep us informed.

Great deal on a great build.... Congrats! The beauty of a buy like that is you'll never really be too far negative on it.

2012.5's are excellent examples. Ask me how I know.

Sounds like you think the price is too good and something significant and costly will show up in time. Always possible with a used car but I think not for this one. Price was influenced by being a cab in the winter, and the mileage which I do not consider to be high. Cars with 20K miles and under were getting a premium of 8-10K on price. Was following comprable cars in Salt Lake and Chicago at the same time and the prices kept falling. Once the car in SL hit 65K she was gone the next day and off my list. I will report back on any unexpected repairs. Happy New Year!

You did well on the price. Non CPO also has an affect.

At that condition + the miles = likely if something major were to fail it would have happened since the car got driven a little and given the condition, the owner didn't take short cuts to take care of her. You did well.

I have a 2012.5 and although it doesn't get driven too much; when it does it's to the mountains and driven pretty hard. Of course some non eventful, local gatherings also but that's really very few miles. FWIW, mine is still very tight with zero rattles @8,500 miles. I bought with 1,200 miles exactly 2 years ago today.

Not at all. I don't think you'll have problems. A lot of people say that it's not an issue.

It's just that in my search, I'm looking for something in the under 25,000 mile range. I'd just like to know if anything arises. If this works out, maybe I'll be looking in the under-45K range. I wish you nothing but the best.
