the engine is strong, it can hold a lot of miles, but of course it depends on the maintenance, driving, etc....

me personally i wouldn't get anything with more than 100k. just me

wat about like a 01 with 75K...do these cars have certain problems at certain miles? i currently have the 03 530i and at around 75K the radiator goes out along with some other things...sooo are there things like that with the GS?

American car, foreign car, crappy car, luxury car - I would never buy a car with that kind of mileage. The maintenance of the car really comes into question when your talking that kind of mileage.

I bought my 98 GS400 with 160k miles on it... and its runnin great! Milage doesnt mean crap, as long as the car has been well taken care of.

no matter what you buy, if its used ,it's going to need some kind of work. if its new it's going to need work sometime within your warranty and most of the time when the warranty out!

It really depends on the how much is the difference. You should also call around and ask the dealer for inspection II or how much for the 75K mile service. Test drive the car and look at the VIN stickers on doors etc...
