I didn't notice a mention of whether it is a stick or automatic. If it's an automatic with more than 160,000 miles, you can expect that the prongs on the torque converter which drive the transmission oil pump will fail soon and leave you stranded. The B-W trans. itself is very strong, except for this one problem, but it requires pulling the drive train to replace the torque converter to fix it. If it's a 5-speed, the trans is basically weaker and noisy, but a non-turbo motor won't be likely to have hurt it and changing a clutch is a one-hour job, or so I was told by a Stockholm cab driver. Myself, I would set aside a good part of a weekend in order to have fun doing it.
