$280.00 for a wheel bearing is not a bad price. But, from a buyers stand point, I would get a second opinion to make sure it's not something else. If you are working with a dealer or private party my first question is; why haven't they fixed the bearing to make the vehicle more saleable? $4K is reasonable. You could check to see what the same vehicles are selling for in your area. How long will the car last you? Depends a lot on how the vehicle was maintained, and how you maintain it. Obiously, if your flying down the freeway and slam it into a bridge abutment, it's not going to last you very long.
