Default Re: New SRT, how many miles is too many?

For many cars that's not alot, but I'm worried that with the car being supercharged it may be less reliable when it gets into the high mileage. The next best option would be the same car, but with 24,000 miles for $17,977. Keep in mind that I only plan on keeping this car for 2-3 years tops.

Option 1
SRT 94k miles - $12,991
2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6, $12,991 - Cars.com

Option 2
SRT 24k miles - $17,977
2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6, $16,977 - Cars.com

EDIT: SORRY POSTED WRONG PRICE IN POLL, Should be $17,977
Well at least we know the SRT can last 94k!! :P That is the highest mileage SRT I have seen. I think if you are only gonna keep it 2-3 years, go for the cheaper/higher mileage one (depending on how many miles you plan to put on the car). The car will last! Offer them 9k and see what they say......If you can get it for 10.5k or lower, go for it. It'll be worth it.
