I'm guessing that is about 115,000 miles. If that is correct, I'd
personally think it has already served its useful life. They are not
typically known as a high-mileage producer! I sold used cars for decades.
Refused to sell Escorts with much over 30,000 miles--actually tried to avoid
selling them at all. Odds just weren't in the buyers' favor. s
