Default On the hunt for an SRT. Worth looking at 100k+ miles?

Hey all, I have been on the hunt for a black SRT to replace my lost limited and I'm looking for some advice.

I missed out on a couple in the 70K mile range for ~$11,000 because I was not ready to pull the trigger at the time. I see one that is available now for 9K but it's at 98,000 miles. Obviously I would like lower mileage but is there any big reasons I should rule this one out as a possibility based on mileage? I ran my limited from 20k to just under 90 with no major issues other than the standards (RCM, CPS)

I know these engines are built to last but in my head that 100,000 mark is scary. Anyway, just looking for some opinions. My limited is in the back yard so I do have a parts bin at my disposal and I'm not worried about resale.

Thanks guys!

one thing about it, all the bs has probably been fixed on it to have made it 98k. If everything else looks to be in good shape, then the driver must have cared for it.... If it is rough body wise and interior, I would pass. That usually translates into how the rest of the car was cared for...

I got my E55 (big brother to the SRT pretty much) with 110,000 without even thinking about it. Only issue was the coolant pump but the price was insanely good so I was ok with finding that out later. Just do a thorough inspection on it. Make sure it's cold when you get there, warm it up, check for leaks yadda yadda

Thanks guys! This particular one is pretty far away so I'll probably need someone else to take a look first but the pics look pretty good. Thanks again!
