Help understanding 100,000 mile maintenance on possible new purchase
 
I'm looking to buy a 1996 supra with about 90,000 miles non turbo manual. I have never owned a car over 40,000 miles and kinda nervous about buying a car close to 100,000 miles. I know Toyotas are weel known for lasting to 200,000 miles, but also realize that after 100,000 miles the car requires a lot more maintenance and money to repair things that wear out. The car lists for $18,000. What are your opinions?
Also, do you know of any maintenance that is required at 100,000 miles and after and how much it usually costs, which I will have to consider in the cost of the car?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

1) Ask yourself why you want to buy a Supra. If you want high performance, don't get an n/a.
2) If the n/a Supra has been well maintained, and if it's never been wrecked (check CarFax), then it'll be just fine. Of course, maintenance expenses on it will likely be a bit higher than if you bought a brand-new n/a mkiv Supra. Also, keep in mind it's more expensive to buy any sports-car 'class' car - even an n/a. Tires, oil changes, timing belt changes, etc. will all be noticeably more than ... oh, say a Camry, for example.
