I'd ask if the clutch had been replaced yet...

And demand to have those rims replaced.

1. No.
2. Maintenance records, carfax, etc.
3. Depends on what's been done already.
4. A lot more than what you're paying now.

Welcome. The decision is pretty simple. Do you want a car with 141,000 miles?

Do not have a number for you but...

A vehicle with 141,000 miles will cost more to maintain than one with 50,000 miles. Just common sense. Pay now (for a Z with less miles) or pay later (maintenance costs).
