Richard, 

the problems you mention really don't have a lot to do with the milage on the 
car. the auto trans gov can go at any time (i've heard of them buggin' out 
at less than 10,000 miles), and then for some people, the gov is flawless all 
of the time. 

don't know much about hot start problems though. i haven't had those yet! 
but at least if you bought a D with over 100,000 miles on it, chances are 
that it's not going to have the problems that most of us have - problems 
associated with improper storage of the car!
