A lot of variables come into play here. Depends on how well the car was taken care of with regular maintenance (fluid changes, filters, etc) & whether or not the previous owner beat the hell out of it.

This car should have quite a bit of life left assuming everything is in good condition. If the price is right based on the condition & mileage go for it. I'm not too sure on pricing a rebuild but I'm sure others will chime in that have done this before.

It should have plenty of life left. I bought mine with 203000 km! I bought it off a guy who's wife drove it for work on the highway since 01. I didn't care how many km were on it because the car was super tight and mint! I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I bought my 01 SS back in August and it had 78k miles on it and i gave 12,250 for it. I'm not real sure how good of a deal it was because i was wanting to give 11,500 for it but they wouldn't go for it. The original sticker price was 17k so I think i got a decent deal, as far as, is it going to last, there are a lot of things that factor in like, was it well maintained, and was it driven hard constantly, these things are what is important, and most important is it what you want because you might not find another car like it for awhile.
