Default Lifespan of 99 Chevy Prizm

I'm considering buying a 99 Chevy Prizm LSI, with 1.8 L engine and
auto trans with OD. It has 120,000 miles on it. Do these cars last
to say, 200,000 miles ???

They're asking $4,395 !! I'd offer less, of course.


Thanks

Ditto the previous comments...but...I'd be offering about a THOUSAND
less than that.

go to kbb.com and check the value.

You can get a lot newer car with less miles for that kinda $$ if you
shop around.

FWIW, my 99 taurus duratec with 91 K is about a $3800 car.
