Sounds dicey without any service records or an independant PPI.

You have to assume worst case at that many miles without any other confirming info:

Clutch $2500
Brakes and rotors $800
Tires $800
Water Pump $300
AOS $400
Oil Change $200

Thats just normal wear stuff at ~80k miles so if it has issues, then add that on top.

History and or PPI is vital as without it your looking at almost $5,000 in repairs if they have not been done yet.

You could offer the seller $8K if he does those things on the list above before turning the car over to you, so you can enjoy the car for years without any worries.
