Keep in mind that when someone puts that many miles in a short number of time, its usually FREEWAY Miles. Which are a lot easier on the car than stop and go city driving.
An owner putting on only 40 miles a day in the city stopping, going, shutting off, starting up the engine, the tranny shifting, brakes slowing, etc. Whereas as another owner can put on 80 miles a day on the FREEWAY. No shifting, just crusing in 5th gear at low RPM. No starting/stopping, braking, etc.
HIGH MILEAGE is not always a scary thing. A car with lower miles could have gone through more abuse.
Another plus is that records show that she owned it from 115K-229K. Which means her FREEWAY mileage is consistant and there werent a bunch of other owners in between that you have to worry about.
Heck, if I were in CALI, Id jump on this and drive it back to MN for a winter GS4 while mine gets stored.....LOL.
