I will not consider if the mileage is that high!

Just my 2 cents - can buy if you have time to visit workshops for repair; and the cost of repair of wear-and-tear is lower than the additional depreciation that you will have to pay for a newer car, e.g. you have to pay $5k a year more for a newer car, but cost of repair is lower (I estimate to be around $3-4k).
For me it was worth it for my 2 previous rides, so I bought them. But going forward I may not, because now I got kid* already no more time to keep running to workshop.
(*Sorry I mean I need to help look after my sister's kid.)

What is the age of the car at 130,000 km? Mine is coming to 5 years and have clocked 140,000 km... nothing to it!

The good thing is; at this mileage, most wear and tear parts would have already been replaced.
