I bought a 2001S with maybe 30k miles on it. But with no maintenance history, I quickly did a 90k (most comprehensive) service, alignment, tires and brakes. Over the next 5 years I changed the oil and filters and an O2 sensor at a muffler shop. Lots cheaper maintenance than my Honda with the same miles over that time period.

But it is now a ~20 year car and things deteriorate over time and wear out with use. Know the person you are buying from, buy an enthusiasts car and learn the maintenance history. Let the previous owner pay for sove of the wear out items.
