To buy or stay away?

I'm shopping for a '97 900 SE, but I would almost rather not buy a car at all,
given the uncertainty of the economy. So this cheap one that turned up looks
really attractive to me. It's a high-mileage, low priced '97 900 SE. It
has 143,000 miles on it. These are likely highway miles. (I don't know
for sure, because the seller is not the original owner but an individual
going into business as a dealer.) The seller is asking $6,900 and says
he is flexible on price. I think the price is right, but what are the
risks of getting into a '97 with that many miles?
Practically speaking, when I take it to a mechanic (if it gets that far),
what questions should I ask? Will they able to tell if certain key things
have been replaced or will need replacement?
I haven't seen the car, and will be travelling about 90 mi. to look at it.
What should I look for?
