My 93 9000 CSE LPT has "only" done 78000 miles, so it is hardly run in. Your mileage translates to 89000 miles. I would expect the previous owner(s) should have done a bit of maintenance, so the state of your car really depends on the service history. There can be some expensive milestones, unless you are DIY mechanic. Check: timing chain for a start. Waterpump, radiator, gearbox, exhaust/CAT, Direct ignition (DI) unit, front suspension links, brake discs. However, if the car is sound, then you have got a brilliant car, well worth keeping.
