    Well if it has full service history and has been well minded it wouldn't bother me.The experts maintain 12k mile is ther norm per annum

    well the first celica I bought was a 01 and had 65k on it. It was running great but I decided to get a hpi report one day and found out that in Aug 2003 it had 100k on it... after 2 years

    So check it out. And before it starts... yes I got my money back

    They're well able for high milage. If it's looked after, then that's nothing to it. If its thrashed though, I'd leave it behind. There are quite a few thrashed ones. Also a lot of different drivers would affect it too.
    Mine is 2000, with 84k miles on it, full Toyota service history from new, and minded well. It's tighter to drive than many cars with half that milage on them. I did mind it though. I'd let it go for very reasonable money if she was interested.

    If it's a T Sport, make sure the VVTL-i works correctly, and the power delivey is smooth it'l be expensive to put right if it doesn't

    Doesn't matter what mileage is on it now, once it hits the magical 100,000 it'll take a large hit in terms of depreciation.

    Imho better off paying a bit more now for a low miles one and selling on again before it reaches that magic number.
