1 mile is too many for a Blazer. They are absolutely terrible vehicles.
Consumer Reports testing showed that the Blazer's brakes were inferior and the body leaned a lot in hard cornering. The 1998 models received better brakes but still had cumbersome handling, a so-so ride, and sloppy fit and finish. The Blazer also received a "Poor" rating in an IIHS offset-frontal crash test. The 4.3-liter V6 engine feels lively, but fuel economy is poor even by the paltry standards of the class. The TrailBlazer essentially replaced the Blazer in 2001. Recent used Blazers are likely to have been in rental fleets. Blazers/Trailblazers are also the LEAST reliable vehicle that consumer reports tests. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

over 100,000 for american cars like this one, and over 200,000 for japanese cars

Whenever your buying a car, take the total miles driven and divide them by how old the car is. This give you an average of how many miles have been driven a year. In this case it is 17760 miles a year. This is close to what the average American drives a year. If the car has been properly maintained then this could end up being a good buy, but be prepared to spend on maintenance for nothing is ever certain when buying used.

124,321 sounds a little high, but not excessive if oil/filter changes have been done on time. Highway miles vs city miles makes a difference also. Check Kelley Blue Book for a fair price.
