i bought mine with 115k. since nobody mentioned it you absolutely need to make sure the timing belt has been replaced. if not it could fail the second you pull it out of the lot and you would be effed for $$$$$$.

the 1.8 makes for a great commuter. i bought mine 3 years ago with 80k and just hit 152k a couple weeks ago. still runs great with a little work hear and there. i would check when the TB was done and go for it. even if that hasn't been done, you can talk the seller down saying you'll have to but 500 into it as soon as you get home. the TB can be done in your driveway in a weekend with all the tools, a buddy, and a couple beers. i say go for it.

I appreciate all the feed back, pretty helpful crowd! I went to the place straight after work today to drive it and get the carfax report and if everything checked out leave with it! BUT some other people were test driving it so I said "no worries I'll come back later" well I call back right at closing time and the guy I talked to said they were trying to work out a deal... UGH!!! of course I'm not surprised because what luck I have tends to be sh*tty luck... oh well guess I'll go back tomorrow to make sure its for sure gone, F an A
