Default Nice 2003 STR for a cheap price on EBay

I follow some STR's on EBay and this was a nice Zircon one that went for only $9K. I think someone got a great deal!!

Exactly...9 G's for a 93,000 mile $65k car is a bargain. I paid $11,500 for my 03 89k mile STR. A well taken care of STR will almost go around the clock twice before an engine and trans swap is necessary.

No, I paid about $14k or so, as there was a trade involved. I would pass with that many miles even for "cheap." It's like owning a "free" horse, after a few thousand dollars you realize why it was free!

Well I think that would depend on how the previous owners maintained it. My car needed more than $3k in maintenance to bring her back to a reasonable level. If this was a one or two owner car with a documented service history I would say it was a good deal, absent that I'd pass.

Yes, your right it is a bit too high in miles but looked really clean. Good Carfax too, but who knows? You could put in several $k of work if needed and still be OK. But if no major repairs then a super cheap classy ride!
