Default Please help! I need advice on buying a car!

i need a car really bad, and this car is for sale, i only have 6000, that's why i'm not buying something nicer, but here is the car i'm going to test drive tonight:

http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/car/358987324.html

so what do yall think? i am going to need this to last me through college. it has 104k miles on it! i am worried about that cuz that sounds REALLY high! do yall think the car will be breaking down on me soon or the engine going out or something? i travel a lot so i can't have it breaking. i dont know what to do! should i buy it or forget it?

it looks good. when u test drive it ask them if they did the regular maintinence on it and if they had any problems with it. if they kept up on the maintinence then it should be a good car to get IMO

I think the price is sort of low. I would test drive it kind of hard, let it warm up and test the starter, electronics, lights, sunroof and stuff. I would for sure find a car fax or some kind of history before a purchase. The timing belt was due to be changed @ 60k, other than that, they seem to be solid cars. If it's been driven by a girl,in all probability, ithas been babied.If it all checks out,it looks like a pretty good deal.
