He might have better luck than you have had - or just be more willing to spend time and money on it because of his infatuation with that particular make-model, or whatever.
My Pontiac Transport has 334,000km on it. The previous owner replaced all the suspension parts before I got it. I put in a new engine at 275,000, because I bought it when the previous (original) owner decided to stop pouring money into it. I put a rebuilt tranny in at about 300,000.I replaced the windsheild. About all that's left of the original is the (plastic) body and interior. Oh yes, and still the original exhaust.
