I own an '04 HCH MT that has 80k miles on it.

Other than some body damage (lotsa deer here), the car runs great.

I have not had any work done on the brakes -- my commute is mostly highway, and I believe I can last until spring time. However, you may want to check out the brakes on any 75k+ HCH.

I would expect you'd find the same type of car on the market near you.
