    no... women can't drive and have no idea about proper maintenance

    Depends on if the maintenance was done properly. or how hard the car was driven. Thats a very broad question.

    And honestly, people could lie to you all day about how an engine was taken care of provided there arent any tail tell signs showing anything.

    If it was even decently taken care of and not ragged it will easily last another 90,000 with proper maintenance

    I wouldn't worry at all. Ask them about the maintenance history. Have the fluids other than the engine oil EVER been changed? See if they have documentation.

    I bought a well kept woman owned 98 Z28 with almost twice the mileage (174,xxx) and it runs like a champ. Even my mechanic was impressed with the condition of the drivetrain.

    Provided the car was properly maintained and not severely abused you should have no problem.

    Hmmmm, maybe that should read "....woman owned well maintained...."

    Although at my age a "well kept woman" wouldn't hurt either.

    How much? Does she have service records? The engine is not really something to worry about. Usually its the small things bundled up that kill you like 5k in small parts needing to be replaced from window motors to shocks, mounts, a/c, heater, wire problems blah blah blah.

    Either way unless you know the car and can fix it yourself do not buy it unless it has service records. Also do not be afraid to ask if you can take it to a mechanic and have it looked over at your cost. You may spend 50$ but it keeps you from buying a wrecked piece of shit that will cost you thousands at the end of the day.
