what should you watch for in a high mileage 928?

hey all,

am looking at buying an '89 928 S4 here in New England and could use a little help: Very nice car, white/black, auto, but has about 160k.

First, how do the engines/trannys on these cars hold up with that kind of mileage? (I am assuming at this point that there hasn't been any major internal work done, the person selling has not had the car for that long, and have I not gotten to take a look at the records yet). I know these cars are refined cruisers, but not sure how that translates into durability.

Also, what are upkeep costs like on these cars? I have a reasonably modest budget and want to be realistic about what I'm getting into. I know there is a strong aftermarket parts supply, is it safe to say you can pretty much avoid the dealer at this point on these cars? Any thoughts for the newbie are greatly appreciated!
