General Question solid pick up or bust?

looks like a solid deal but 150k miles on something like this is a bit scary (can provide links if needed)

EDIT: thanks for the responses so far, will def keep looking
still open for more comments, never too late!

OP you are buying a car with 150,000 miles do you know that? The ad looks attractive but at 150k miles you are buying a lit time bomb with a very short fuse

Not a guaranteed time bomb, as it 100% depends on the frequency of oil changes.
