As for mileage, mines nearly done 132k (its a late 2000 IS200) and its still going strong. My IS200 has done 100k under my ownership (7 years), so the 130-150k IS200's you are looking at should be able to carry on racking up the miles as long as they have been looked after.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Mods:...WIM geometry setup & fine tune, K&N Air filter, Stainless steel A/C rings, Brodit phone kit, Stainless steel clock surround, B&M Shortshifter & LED Domelight, Maplight & Sun Visors, OEM Chrome exhaust tip, OEM rubber bootliner, Fan type windscreen washer jets, LS430 Side repeaters, OEM LE grille, OEM cargo net, Front OEM armrest
I do about 280 miles a week (combo of dual carriageway and city driving). I'm going through £45-£50 of fuel a week to give you some idea. On some occasions, I can do upto 800/900 miles a week (no, my IS200 is not a taxi, I'm in IT so I use my car for business use).

Tell that to my boss, he has a 2001 Saab 9-3 with 50k on the clock- its always in the garage for repairs. Its going in next week to have the C/L repaired.
The 9-3 is full of GM parts which are :cursing: according to my boss.

Looks good- but get a inspection done. If the car looks good (visually and mechanically), I'd offer £2.2k to start with and take it from there.
