My question is this: Given this plan, should I be concerned with buying an older (say 2013) model that has mileage around 60K? It seems that I can pick up a car with about 30K miles for approximately $17k, and one with about 60K for approximately $14k.
Obviously the extra $3k I save would go nicely towards some modifications. But am I making a mistake buy trying to save $3k on a car that I will ultimately spend a lot more money on (for the LS swap)?
Any feedback or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hello Lysdexia and welcome to the forum .......
I don't think the mileage matters as much as how the car was cared for.
I'd suggest you pick one that hasn't been messed with and has the transmission you prefer and the color you like.
You may find that with some good tires and a modified exhaust, that the car is enough fun and you won't need an engine swap.
