I was reading the KBB Reviews for the MX3, check this out =)

Title: "The Energizer bunny of cars"

"I owned a 1992 MX-3 9 years ago and it never let me down. I drove it from LA to the borders of Belize (south of Cancun), Whistler Canada, Yellowstone Park, Utah... I put over 270,000 miles on it without ever spending a dime on repairs or even replace the clutch. I was religious about servicing it with regular oil-changes and tuneups, but that's it. Oh I did have to replace the radiator for about $280 (it was made of plastic). Great on gas too! About 30 mpg. I was thrilled with this car and it would still be around today, had it not been totaled while parked on a busy street. I loved that car! So much that today (6/1/09), I went out and bought a '95 MX-3 with only 63K miles!"

First off, I'm jealous. I wish I had been driving when these first came out... sadly I was only 3. :/

Secondly, Where in the hell did he find one with 63k miles in '09?
