I think you're buying these cars too far into the lifecycle, and having to fix all the worn out stuff, especially with an Aero which quite likely was driven hard. Either buy a younger one or make sure it comes with impeccable service records from a dealer. Or buy a clean LPT/SE from an older private party that has babied it. Still really nice cars, just not quite as sporting.
To answer your question, an Aero with 100K is a crapshoot - it could have been well cared for and will run reliably for a long time without too much maintenance, or if poorly maintained and driven hard, may be nearing the end of that lifecycle with major repairs ahead. Unfortunately it is hard to tell without the full service records.
