It really depends on how well maintained it was by the previous owner(s). General rule of thumb is that you are going to have to buy parts for it though.

If a “kid” owned it, pass on it.
If an adult owned it (over 30 years old) it could be a good car.
Spend $100 to have a mechanic check it out before you buy it.

I wouldn’t buy a car with that many miles as your just asking for a lot of troubles.

These engines are generally good for about 200,000 miles or more as along as it at least had regular oil changes.
A friend of mine just replaced his spark plugs at 150,000 miles and it turned out that the plugs were the original plugs that it came from the factory with. That was in a Mustang GT that wasn’t really babied, but did have oil changes.
I have a 94 Mustang with 198,000 miles on it, and it still purrs like it should. Its your call as to if the car is worth it. If it makes strange sounds or anything, just have a shop do an inspection.
