The car had 134k miles on it. I bought it with 100k, so it is certainly possible that it did not receive all the maintenance it should have. However, the engine was not sludged in any way, and there were no obvious indications of neglect. The car was actually in very good shape for 100k when I got it, and I certainly made sure the maintenance was up to date at that point.
Obviously, as with any used car, you end up with a somewhat unknown quantity. That said, most of the problems I experienced came around the time I would have expected, or were avoided through preemptive replacement. The transmission was a surprise because of its bulletproof reputation. I actually bought an automatic primarily because of this reputation - I much prefer manuals, even moreso now.
