Holy crap at 101K no service records = good idea to keep away. Unless you screw down the price a few grand more and put the savings toward a really thorough service.

Plus you'd want to get a thourough inspection on it before buying. What kind of a clown doesn't keep a service history?

yher not worth it, piece of mind is worth a bit of extra coin...

keep looking, ive seen a few 1999/2000 models going with around 80k kms or so, although slightly more in price...

test drive as many as you can, youll find that youll start to get a feel of the car and any problems with it as you have more to compare to...
