Default Thinking about buying an 08 w 92k miles on it

Is there anything I should be looking out for, problems etc, is 92k going to be a problem?

You will be mad that you missed out on the first 92K miles.

I bought mine with 91000 miles on it exactly a year ago. I have had to replace the air filter and fill it up with gas. Not a single problem. It has been the funnest vehicle I have owned. You will love it. Go get the Gasbuddy app for your cell phone and get a Kroger card for gas points and you will be fine.

That's a lot of mile but hopefully the price reflects the miles...

Unless it has been abused or not maintained, it will be great at the right price. You start to have small problems more as a function of age than mileage in my opinion and yours will be as new as they get. The major components of the drivetrain if not abused and properly maintained have something like 200+K in them, so there is much left. Your likely problems will be belt tensioner, water pump, pwr steering pump, and if you are really unlucky, mainseal, manifold, oil pan, or timing chain cover gasked leak. Nothing big. Just my opinion.
