Hey guys,

There's a 4dr Metro HB for sale not too far from me, 147K on the clock, working AC and AT (not my first choice for MPG but then everyone can drive it).

How many miles on the odo is too much? The seller wants $1100 - the price drops about $50 every three days or so - and I'm really liking this thing for a daily commuter. It'd about double my MPG, but the first time it breaks down the wife is going to want to set it on fire.

Any thoughts?
