As with Jap they are reliable but normal things:
Check that the timing belt isnt due a change (very tricky & expensive an expensive one if you get a garage to do it), other things its best to see with a test drive. . . if the clutch is going wheel bearings etc.
Only problem is with a car thats done this many miles anything could go . . . at any time "you can never beat wear or time" Sad

what he said, also have a look out for the front subframe, just get down and have a good look. also when you test drive it it will feel quite funny, hard to explain. just is a very expensive repair

Yeah just check your engine mounts too as i've had to replace one and its a bugger if the bolt snaps! Subframe was an issue on my GS as it was the only part of the car that wasn't wax oiled from new. Didn't know untill i poked a screw driver through it!!
