It had 64K miles on it at the time. Since buying it, I've done a full suspension restoration (stayed with OEM struts and springs), Energy suspension bushings all around, clutch, performance upgrades (intake, JWT chip, exhaust, boost controller, down pipes). I've got 107K on it now and the only problem areas are: 1) power steering hoses are leaky
2) turbos burn some oil and there is some accumulation of oil on the housings
3) compression on cylinders 4 & 6 are lower than the rest (but the car still dyno'd 300 rwhp)
4) rear main oil seal leaking. My advice is to be prepared to spend money on the car annually to maintain it's reliability. If it's not tires, it will be brakes. If it's not brakes, it'll be a 60K (or a 120K in your case) service that's required. Don't rule out a clutch, coolant hoses, or fuel hoses needing to be replaced either. Hopefully, you won't need to do all of this at once, and that's why I said to be prepared to spend some money each year to maintain the car. The good news is that some of this money can go towards upgrading worn out parts :-) Good luck, Dave
