Answer 5

i personally do not think so, and would not getting anything with that high of mileage...       look else where for a car.  usually.. things over that mileage WILL require some expensive work, and are not work much when its over 100k miles.  It might leak oil, or otehr fluids, or there may be a transmittion problem, or otehr various problems.. even minour neglected things can be fatal to a car.

that deal is bad especially from a private seller.     you can get better deals from dealers with that price believe it or not...   I got my second car from a dealer and it was one of the best cars i had.  lasted me a few years with no problems till i got sideswiped by a car that ran a red light... Poor car...
