Is what you're paying consistent with the used car appraiser
prices at www.edmunds.com ?

I think buying a car this old with this many miles is a huge
roll of the dice. Sure, it could last 100k more. It might
not.

I'd check the coolant in the reservoir and see how clean it
looks. I'd test drive it for half an hour on the highway and
half an hour local driving.
