Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
That is a very tough call for me because I do not know the vehicle. If the vehicle was well maintained (following the manufacturer's recommendations) and not abused, you could most likely get quite a few more miles from it. However, there is never a guarantee with something like this. Today's cars, when serviced regularly last a long time. In fact, it is not uncommon to see a car hit 300,000 miles. However, and this is important, remember that although the engine may last that long, there are many other components that will not. Things such as sensors, pumps, electrical components, bearing, brake components, and the list goes on, have a lot of miles on them too. That is where the old cliche "it is nickel and diming me to death" comes from.
All in all, the engine could have many more miles, other components may not. It is a tough call not being there to actually see and drive the vehicle. Buyer Beware.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. They are great cars. I just do not want you to think nothing can go wrong. Everything wears out.
Take care,
Joe
