The ONLY thing I'd be "concerned" about with that deal is the automatic transmission. Nissan automatics aren't known for their longegevity, and if regular maintenance hasn't been performed (regular fluid changes), the durability of that transmission COULD be suspect.

But if it drives good, and the rest of the vehicle has been maintained, it sounds like it's probably a non-issue. Couldn't hurt to ask them when was the last time they serviced the transmission. Sounds like a good deal, and I wouldn't let the miles bother me at all. I have 183k on my '95 and it still drives really well. There's some frame rust here and there (hey, it's import steel), but the driving experience is pretty good for so many miles. I expect another 100k out of it easily.
