It's touchy! Even If you know it was well maintained. The price has to be a lot less than the sale value to give you cash on hand left to spend on future maintenance. The timing chain, trans filter and all fluids may need need immediate change. I bought a defective 89 olds 88 with 154k miles for $300 in 2002 and spent $400 more to get it running. That was with my own repair work and not having to pay a shop's price. It passed 200k miles last year After 180k, as the problems arose - I've had to replaced the timing chain, cam shaft sensor, water pump, Power Steering hose, oxygen sensor, thermostat, radiator, catalytic convertor, brake pads and four tires. I still think I was blessed, The car needs a paint job and a new headliner, and front floor carpet, but I'm I not real vain. I get around town at 17 MPG or three to four hundred miles away for Golf outings ok - and at 27 MPG. Do some more homework on costs to repair and maintain that car you want. Maybe you can be the blessed one.

Is 160000 miles bad for a 2001 Mercury Cougar for 3995 dollars?
Yes, that's really bad actually. Please consider the following: any car over 150,000 miles in my opinion, is not buy-able. In my personal experience, cars (top of the line and also cheap) rapidly deteriorate after 150,000 miles unless of course the engine is new/rebuilt.
Why are used cars for sale worth so much less than new cars for sale?
