...but the price was right and it came with service records. It hasn't needed anything that I would not consider normal on a car of its age regardless of mileage. (A fuel pump giving out did require a tow recently, but that type of failure can happen to any car at any time.)
Without the service records all you can really do is look over everything carefully and balance the price and condition against the risk. The worst problem would be serious rust, that's worse than just about anything mechanical that might be wrong with the car. (You're deep in the rust belt so check carefully!)
