opinions please

I was looking in the paper in the classifieds at cars and i found a 2000 firehawk. The car is black, t-tops, leather, perfect condition, and the only thing that is making me second guess this is the miles. The things got just over 100k. Any input on buying a car with that many miles would be good. the guys asking price is 12k. thanks

I would stay away from that car. Even though they can last for a while longer that seems like an awful lot. I would take Ken's before that one. At least you know he's taken great care of the car inside and out

I think you need to consider how many miles a year you would drive it. 100k is a lot to start with if you are going to be driving it a lot. Is it going to be a daily driver or a weekend cruiser? My $0.02; I would not buy a car with 100k miles on the clock. You could find a nice LS1 for that price with less miles. Not a Hawk and probably not a WS6 or SS, but for a couple of thousand more your options are opened up. Remember....it is foolish to pay too much, but it is stupid to pay to little.

If I didn't have a T/A I would buy Ken's in a heartbeat.

I agree...stuff starts falling apart at 100k. And as time quickly passes, much much more will break, as you probably already know. Mine seemed to go in spurts...at 60k, 5 years old, it had its share of stuff to replace. Now at 110k, 11 years, everything else wants to rip apart.

thanks for the input, im just exploring my options right now.

Mines got 140k miles on it and I have not had a single problem with in 2 years, not one well the intake leaks but thats been happening since I bought it cause i'm afraid to fix it.

Same here Gimp19, I had her for 2 years now.

That's a whole lot of miles for a 2000, my 89 formula350 had just turned 100000 2 years ago when I bought it. Then one year later the engine blew

A lot depends on what you want to use it for. If you're looking for collector's value, 100k is too much for a 2000 collector's car... especially at that price. I would seriously consider Ken's Firehawk. It's definitely taken care of, less were made, and you know it's got to be up to around 2,000 coats of Zaino by now.
