STRUTS- HOW DO THEY AGE? Years or Miles?

[NASCARLANCE]

We all know the cost of struts for our J30s. I've got a 95 J30t with about 145k miles on it.I possibly have the chance of buying front and rear struts off of a 93 j30 with less than 10k miles on it.Now here is my questions, is it age or milage that ruins struts?I am pretty sure the guy will be straight foward as far as the visable condition of the struts are.If the struts are worth buying, what price should I pay for just the stuts and also as a assembly including the springs.I know that the T has firmer springs than the non-t J30 but I'm not really concerned about that. I'm running 17/235/45 tires, so that has actually made my car ride as if it has even firmer springs. I was thinking the non-t springs might soften the ride back up to where it is closer to what it was before the wheel tire swap. I do not think that my J is a racecar, I don't drift it and I don't do burnouts, I just drive it that way your supposed to drive a car like the J.Let me know what yall think, and thanks in advance for your feedback,Lance

I would say more so on the mileage.

It kind of depends on where you live or where the car lived. Exposure to salted roads in winter would ruin the struts over time regardless of mileage.

The car is sitting in Ohio. I think it was parked when almost new due to problems with the title. (drug dealer, maybe?) So I don't think it's been on the roads at all in the past 14 or so years.

I'd buy the whole car given the chance ..That's bizzare low mileage for a J !!

I'd offer 75 bucks each, and go up to $120.00

Why are they parting out the low mileage car? Is it damaged or something?
