as long as all the normal maintenance was done than you should be solid... see if you can talk him a bit down on price,but other than that i''d go for it

mine 2.0t has 146.xxx miles and runs strong and is pushing 15-16psi on the stock t25 turbo. runs strong. just take care of it. dont miss any maintence because you will regret it.

Basically, if they previous owner(s) took care of it, didn''''t miss oil changes, didn''''t always drive like an idiot, and knew what they were doing, the car should last. I know of eclipse''''s that had engines go at 80k miles. The guy 2 owners before me had to get the engine rebuilt in my car at 87k. It really all depends on how they''''re taken care of, and it seems like there''''s no real way to say that they are unreliable or very reliable on their own aside from owner''''s care for them.

It looks about as clean as my rebuild - try to talk him down and go for it.
