But does the "R" only do 3000 rpm at 110 mph ?? Not too shabby if it does that...just curious..

You'd hardly get stopped @ 85 in the morning on the TPK. You've got 3 lanes of traffic all doing it, including semi's (I travel between 7a and 9 if you remember the area) It's the ones like our NJ friend above at 110 swerving lanes that attract all the attention

(Why I used to just love the opening credits to "Sopranos". Used to tell the now wife...See, that used to be my commute!)
When I used to work for "Nobody Beats the Wiz"...
And, yup... Be a good boy and 85 is fine...Glad to see that hasn't changed in all these years..

Any modern day car will make it into the triple digits mileage wise with no real issues.
But to each is own...

Wait until you get to replace a $4000 trans, a $7000 engine (15k for the R). Struts usually are gone at 60,000 miles, thats $1000. Hub assemblies, tie-rod ends, radiator, HID lamps, little **** adds up.
I've already changed all the fluids at the 3-year mark and a battery so that should be good for at least another 5

Radiators don't fail on these cars, all the plastic coolant bits, hoses and the DCCV do. I'll agree with you on the suspension stuff, but that's just wear items.
For my lifestyle and the mileage I put on cars it just doesn't pay to pay the premium of 5-8k for a 35k mile car over a 50-60k mile car. A LOT of people have your mentality when it comes to these cars, and it's reflected greatly in the values.
Take care,

Why?? That's the right time to own it. I'd much rather buy a well sorted 60k mile car all day rather than a 35k mile one thats going to need brakes, tires, a battery, and all the fluids changed within the next 5-10k. And pay less for it, and eat less depreciation.

I agree 100% with this. A car that is never driven can be far more problematic than a car that is well maintained and driven freqently. These are cars, not museum pieces. I would say that most cars today can go 150k miles if they are taken care of.
