my 2 cents... on a 20+ year old vehicle, the odometer reading is the
least of your concerns. By now, either the vehicle is 20km away from
the junkyard, or it's been already rebuilt twice over...

If you're not mechanically inclined, I'd get someone who is to evaluate
the vehicle for you. If you are, assume it has 310,000 km and look for
things that will make you "run away..."
