a compression test and a leak down will let you know what shape the motor is in. if those #'s are good, then that's a pretty good deal! make sure the timing belt has been replaced, if not, plan on doing that.

You can buy a compression gauge for about $30.

for $3000 it's a great base to get! even with that many miles, they can take the abuse as long as you take care of them
