Whats the deal with the mileage issue, could that all be a bunch of bull? If its really only 49k shouldnt it be priced higher?>

Car was probally wrecked or bought at auction b/c of flood damage. You have to get a dealers report on it...

Well ther KEY THING is here is there is 49,000 miles ON NEW ENGINE!! Only the engine was most likely replaced and other things were not that needed to be 49,000 miles ago.

I wouldnt buy a used car anyway. Just a new one that gets great gas mileage, dont buy a used car online!

The car would be worth MORE to me if it had the original engine and was still working properly. I would guess that the car MUST HAVE around 150,000 miles on it if it needed a new engine 50,000 miles ago

Yea. I was wrong did not read the section that the miles were on the new engine.

Dont worry old, it probably has been wrecked a few times since 2000 since it has so many miles on it

Disregard this thread folks. Not goin to purchase a car that needed to have its engine replaced. Thats just not a good sign and as stated above, that usually means other things need to get replaced as well. I will aim for something newer maybe even something brand new. Thought at first glance this was a steal. Thanks anyway guys.
