I am interested in possibly buying a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire.
It is in absolute PERFECT condition, selling at $3,500.
When I say perfect, I'm no exagerating,
But, it's mileage is 193,000 km. Is this good for the condition it's in?
I mean, if I buy it, will the car still last me for a good couple more years?
It was only driven for 1 1/2 years and runs great already,
I just don't want to buy it, then have it break down because of the mileage already on it.

PLEASE HELP!!
 
Well if the engine has never had any major work done I'd keep away from it. The timing chain tensioners in those motors generally start to fail around this time. It's a known issue from what I read. Another pending problem would be the water pump, have to dismantle quite a bit of stuff to get to it. Very expensive repair job.

Even though the car might be in perfect cosmetic condition I guarantee you that it's going to require some major work down line.
