just wanted a few opinions on this before i go test drive the car, is 149,000kms too many for a 1993 R32 Gts-t ?

hmm depends on the overall condtion of the car itself.

my r33 has 130,000km and drives as good as the day i bought it (90,000km) and its a 1993

Maybe get a compression test or leak down test done on the engine if you are undersure about the condtion of it (that is if ur interested in buying it after you seen it)

god i'm so sick of people thinking that any car over 70,000km is going to be a thrashed out piece of crap...

My R32 GTS-t has 194,000km on it... its still running fine with only a few things having failed, such as a turbo and a fuel pump (touch wood)

Friend of mine had a Mazda MX6 Turbo.. that thing had close to 300,000km on it, and that thing went hard!

My brothers Mazda RX7 has 250,000km on it and there's nothing majorly wrong with it

My brothers old Toyota sprinter had 350,000km on it, and the only thing wrong with it is low compression on one cylinder...

sensing a trend here?

you can go buy a 'low km' vehicle if it makes you feel good about yourself... i can pretty much guarantee you that its done two, or maybe even 3 times what the odometer says though...

judge a car on the condition of it... not the km's

i've seen 1989 15 year old import rule shitters that come in with like 70 or 80,000km yet they look like they've just gone 10 rounds with Mohammed Ali, compared to some higher km vehicles, such as mine, that are looked after, and maintained, and constantly get people commenting on how good condition it is etc.

I think the highest k's I saw on a car out of japan was on a bus. It had 1 million k's on it with logs.

150,000km's is fine, as long as the car itself is in a good condition and the engine is healthy (do the checks mentioned before to find that out).

Also consider that a 1993 R32 probably came in under the old CPA scheme back in 2003/2004, so its probably clocked a fair chuck of mileage in australia. Apparently aussies add about 20,000km per year to their car.
