you are absolutely certain of the mileage, and it should be low, say 75k miles or less. Even then, you won't know if it was abused or not, and transmissions can be brought to a rather early end of their life in short order by someone who either doesn't know how to operate them.
I got a used tranny when my car was converted to manual, and the tranny had about 125k miles on it. According to the fellow it got it from, it still worked fine, but since it was out, I had the shop take a look at it. Fifth gear needed replacing, as did the synchros and bearings, basically it needed a rebuild. Sure, it might have gone another 20k miles, but that's only one year of driving for me.
Unless absolute lowest cost at this particular time is your priority, I would rebuild your existing tranny (or have it rebuilt), then you know it will be good for a LONG time to come.
