    How many miles is too many?

    I'm looking into buying an 03-05 Mazda6 or even Mazda3. My price cap is around 8500 and was wondering how many miles is too many on a Mazda6. I'm considering a 6 s that has 109k miles but don't know if I should purchase a used vehicle with this many miles on it. Any input is appreciated (burnout)
