Default Looking at buying a high mile 98 LS400, thoughts?

I am looking at buying a 1998 ls400 with 245,000 miles on it
Body is in good condition, inside is pretty great, drivers seat doesnt have any tears or cracks even

timing belt was done about 5,000 miles ago

They are asking $5900 and I am thinking to offer about $5700 out the door as they are a dealer.

What are everyones thoughts? such high miles.. I know they will run forever but man.. hesitation!

Offer 5k.

Car easily has another 100k miles in it.

Even if you drive 20k miles a year, it will last you another 5 years.

Thanks

It's either that or a 1999 with 116,000 miles on it for $9800

Choices are slim round here... been looking for two months and this is the best I found

for those prices you're better off buying a cali-market car and having it shipped/driving it back...

wow those prices are high, even for outside of cali. do you have snow in your roads around there? i would be concerned with the condition of the undercarriage at this point. is this a dealer dealer (sells new cars), or an independent dealer (used cars only)?
