No doubt. The prior owner had the car for 39 months in which he put on 136 of the 139k. It's not easy to put on 40k+ annually without a lot of highway use.vw4life said:Lugnut, I am willing to bet you have 139,000 miles with 90% highway miles.
bmccrea,
I also had concerns about this potential problem before I bought, but I did it anyway and had been imagining any sound from anywhere as being the harbinger of immediate destruction, until I heard Grove's at the fest and had that identified as the sound for which I should be listening in mine.
