What does mileage really mean anyway?  I have seen cars with 50K on them
that are trashed.  Maintenance and upkeep are more critical than mileage.
I have bought several vehicles with well over 100K on them because I either
knew their history, or the price was sufficiently low to make the purchase
safe.  At 100K, many big ticket items have already been replaced once.  I
bought my '85 Westy (123K?) knowing the odometer no longer worked and the
engine was  near death.  The price was right and the Vanagon was otherwise
complete and not butchered.  For $2K, I could part it out and get my money
back.  I ran it for nearly 2 yrs. before springing for a new Boston Bob
engine.  By that time, I was sure this vehicle was a keeper.  I figure it
was better than paying $8 to 10K "up front" for a low mileage Westy.
Rubber hoses and fuel lines only last so long regardless of mileage.  A
complete Car-Fax check should be pretty reliable, but one with holes should
be suspect.  I ran a Car-Fax later and found out  I was the third owner.
The original bill of sale came with it, so I have some idea of its history.
