Help understanding 100,000 mile maintenance on possible new purchase

jackm · 03-01-2011, 12:33 AM

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
