I supose the best anyone can do is buy a car with good service records, get a PPI, and listen closely to the engine and trans.

The search goes on!

P.S. one 1993 I am looking at has 124K miles! is that excessive?
As you might guess the price is very desirable.

Thanks guys!
That mileage is still plenty low! Just make sure you have a full PPI done with compression and leakdown, and use the cam chain/tensioner as a bargaining chip if it hasn't been done, because it's DEFINITELY time for those to be replaced!
