Is this true?
Why?
The only ones of this year that are in my price range have at least 150k on them I need a reliable car and I know these engines last forever so If i buy one with high miles would this be a problem

Buying a car with 150k is kinda taking a chance. You don't know when the trans is gonna go, or when the engine might die, you don't know if the LIM gaskets were replaced, they could have done some bottom end damage that a seller could be hiding with high viscosity oil, etc. The car could have been severely abused.. Who knows? You might end up buying a 155k '00 SSEi, and the transmission could crap out a month later. Of course, you would be taking this chance buying a 92-95, but odds would be less due to the lower mileage range in your price range.

Ok now that I know the differences between the 2000-2002'* and the 2003'*
Would it be better to spend $2-3k more for the '03 or just get the older one Im not real familiar with the changes and if they are worth $2-3k

In '03 the seats changed, a few appearance differences, and hopefully they solved the hood corrosion problem. I am sure there are a few more subtle differences.

A 2000 with only 73k for 6k is a very good deal IMO. Personally, I wouldn't want to get into a car at 150k miles. I wouldn't mind putting that many miles on a car myself, but I don't like having a car that has 150k miles of unknown care(or lack thereof).
