For buying a used Canaro are 150,000 miles too many? How many is too many? How long can this last? 150,000 seems like alot.

People buy really old airplanes all the time. The reason? Generally speaking, they are extremely well maintained and documented. Obviously, cars aren't required to keep those kinds of records but point is, it depends on its maintenance record. If there is nothing to go by, yes, that's a lot of miles.

If that kind of car is what your budget will allow, try to find someone who took really good care of the one they're selling. With at least some documentation on oil changes and general service. They're out there. Just ask about 80% of the people on this forum!

Heck, when my builder/tuner did the cam swap, LS3 conversion and AFM delete on my 2011 Camaro SS/RS at 98k miles, he said that it was just getting broke in!! I'm at 135k miles now.

Depends on how hard it was beaten by the previous owners.
