I lost my 5 sp at 121k, which they funny thing about it is, the guy I bought it from said he was selling this 94 turbo Convertible CE because he had too many cars. He owned a Mini, but I noticed it was an automatic. Why would somebody want to own a peppy small sports car like that with an auto gearbox? I don't want to blame him, but I think he spent to much time grinding gears and never really knew how to drive a stick. That is the risk you run with any older car with several owners. The other posters are right: One can drive a transmission well over 250k miles if properly driven and maintained. If you can verify the maintenance and the driving habits, beware. This was a $5000 lesson for me.
