yeah I guess but a little more kms than I was originally looking for. Just don't know much about their engine/drivetrains other than the specs.

Hmm it has a dual clutch auto. I don't know much about those but I hear they're expensive to maintain on VW/Audis.
EDIT: oops I didn't read the 2004 part

i don't think there's such things as 'life expectancy' for motors. none of them are designed to fail after 10 years or something.
as with all motors, when you're buying a high mileage one make sure it has been properly maintained by the owner. when you talk to the owner and ask him about the car it should become clear to you how much he cares about it.
if you start asking him when he last did this and that and all you get back are 'dunno's or 'i'm not sure what that is' then be more careful.
also factors include -
what KIND of mileage? highway mileage is not as stressful on motors as city. find out if the owner drives to work every day and if its far.
how many owners? generally, the less the better.
if it runs well?
i'd say if you can answer the above questions with satisfactory answers then go ahead and buy it, especially if the price reflects the high mileage.
PS: when negotiating with price don't let on that 'high mileage' may be okay. you need to give him the feeling that you are not happy at all with the high mileage but you're just willing to take a risk if the price is right.
good luck!  | |

that's roughly 70km / day.. like driving back and forth from Stanley Park to Surrey every day.. I would say it is higher than average. Quote:

I'm not saying jump on it asap, each car has it's flaws, just take some things in to consideration when you buy used

actually that IS the right price for that car...
2100 is nothing for a car nowadays:
a headlight unit is upwards of $600 if OEM... that one is as clean as it gets.
better to pay a little more now, than pay retarded amounts of money to fix up a cheap one.

I have a 4G69, it's essentially a stroked 4G63, a motor that has been with mitsubishi since the early 80's. The engine is pretty bulletproof. Chances are the tranny's gonna go way before the motor.
