Re: 3.0 non-evo model.

One I am looking to purchase has 138K on. FBMWSH upto 120K and then 2 independant services.

We all know that these cars are built to be driven hard, and I was wondering what a realistic life span for one might be.... any thoughts?

I have heard this one running, and doesnt sound tappety, a little louder than usual but it has had the cats removed so that explains that, starts first time and idles nicely. Anything else to look / listen for?

In addition is it usual for these cars to use oil? If so how much?

Thanks for the help guys.
