Default Is this 93 gs a good deal?

Here's the link to the car the guy is delivering the car to me this weekend and I was wondering if this is a good price for the car.

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/car/230523829.html

I already went and checked the car out, its pretty clean. No leaks or anything like that. It has a little surface rust on the drivers door its about the size of a silver dollar, and the drivers mirror is cracked. Inside is clean, the woodgrain around the shifter needs to be replaced its cracked and peeling a little. Other than that it runs and drives great. I'm just a little worried about the mileage, its 158,xxx. Are these motors strong past 150k? Its the 2jzge. He's selling it to me 3200, I was wondering if this is a good price for it. Please leave some feedback...thanks alot.

that seems like a good deal! the wood around the shifter can be replaced they have em on ebay for under $100 its a common problem check the trunk for leaks...window trim on the driver side, rack an pinion seem to go out on these cars other thats all i can really think of i bought mine with 152,000 drives better than half of the cars i drive

158,000 miles on these engine should be fine, but also it depends on how the owner treated the car.

I've got 141,000 on my '94. No oil burning. Tight as new.
Get a pre-purchase check and a carfax: www.carfax.com
I replaced the shifter surround with a $60 piece from Wood Dash Experts:

If you do this, you must remove the surround assembly first. DO NOT try to add the new piece with the surround in the car. You have only one shot at aligning it correctly. The adhesive is SUPER strong. It can't be removed and realigned. I learned the hard way: $60 x 2 +
