For what it's worth, I recently purchased a 2000 2.7 for $7,500 with 115,000 miles on it and the original clutch. The clutch is a little scratchy when taking off from first at low RPMs, 1200 or less, but if I launch at over 2000, the clutch is perfectly smooth. I'm going to wait until the clutch starts to fail before I replace it, and the IMSB. It could be tomorrow, or hopefully in five years.

The high miles on the car were definitely not a concern for me. I love the car and I haven't looked back.

But as others have said, be sure to get a thorough prepurchase inspection.
