the faster the miles were racked up, the less damage any of those miles did. fewer cold starts, less acceleration, less time spent in lower gears, less braking, etc.
i'd rather have that car than one 7 years older with half the miles.
that said, it's more money than i would pay for that particular car. and BTW, people are saying "maxima" because that is all the I30 is.
and no, i wouldn't buy it if i were you. when you consider that Accords from the same year routinely sell for about double that cost, it really ought to tell you something about resale values and what you can expect this car to be worth in a few years. it makes sense to drive a high-mileage car and pay for repairs if the depreciation is minimal, because your total cost of ownership remains extremely low. high depreciation plus high maintenence costs for a car that isn't even interesting or loveable just doesn't make sense. for a ferrari, sure. for a maxima, hell no.
