    Mileage only really affects the drivetrain, and all of it is rebuildable/replaceable, even improve-able...
    I bought the first VX I found for sale, without ever seeing it (or any other one for that matter) or having anyone look it over. Just paid for it, had it shipped here, and start driving it and fixing what broke.

    You also have shocks, bushing and other fittings shaken loosen from driving vibration. You have spark plugs, allignment, metal fatigue etc. There is a reason car dealers look at mileage and have a system of valuation that depends quite a bit on year and mileage. Quite frankly apart from accidents 90% of the aging and wearing out a car experiences is due to mileage driven
