Is 56,000 high mileage?
Hey all,
I've got my eye on an 02 WRX with PPP which has done 55,000 miles. It recently had it's cambelt changed (at 50k I believe). Now, I'm assuming scoobies can do -alot- more mileage than that before clapping out, but before buying the car I'd just like to double check with you scooby experts. Is buying a scooby with over 50k miles on the clock a bad idea? Or is it perfectly sane.
Cheers in advance!

If it's got FSSH and the owner loved their car (mods etc) you should be pretty safe.
The AA/RAC offer a service where they will go over it with a fine toth comb, for a price obviously.
Good Luck.

Hey guys, thanks!
