Not without proof that the Intake manifold gasket was replaced. I would imigane that a Lumina with 160,000 miles would exibit this failure almost certainly. Most were manufactured with plastic gaskets. There is no good way to witness the failure.
Also, at that mileage I would expect transmission problems. A transmission would not be an easy (or cheap) fix for this front wheel drive machine. If you take it for a test drive ensure you drive down many back roads that run the transmission through many shifts. A problem tranny will shift hard and will not work well once the car is thouroughly warmed up. A good tranny will shift very smoothly and will not jerk when shifting. Test also at freeway speeds when shifting into the last gear around 60MPH.
The engine and peripherals of the Lumina are long lasting, and parts are numerous and cheap in junk yards, eBay stores (online junk yards), and even new. I got a near new starter for $25, from a 3.1L truck. The engines are common for the Luminas.
A good car, but be wary of my two points in question. Don't pay thousands for this car!
