I would not advise it. It could be a cherry car that will give you flawless performance for another 100K, or it could be a money pit that will suck up a few thousand dollars in the next 100K. I might consider buying one like that after careful inspection, but I've been hanging around with this model since 1999 and know it well... and even then I'd be thinking that this could still become a money pit. I think we'd be remiss if we told you that you could learn to conduct an adequete evaluation.
I'd suggest buying one with many fewer miles. The only way I would suggest that car is if it's an original owner and/or there are detailed service records for the entire life. Then I might reverse myself and tell you what to look for before buying - as long as you understand the possible downside.
