Buying A 2000 SE

I am looking at this 2000 SE for sale. The car has 220,000 ml and a damaged hood which needs replacing. It has leather heated seat and Bose audio.

Is 220,000 ml too high for a maxima?

Is $3,500 for the car a good deal?

What should I look at when I am checking the car?

Thanks

I think you can find a better deal/car than that.

this is the industry standard as far as car value

as far as too many miles...can the seller tell you where the car is from,where it has been, what conditions it has been driven.
does the seller have a record of service performed?
do you have somebody that can check the car with a fine tooth comb to look for flaws and imperfections?

just some ideas off the top of my head to help you with you choice

Run away as fast as you can. 220,000miles isn't worth a $1 as far as im concerned.

Although my fathers town car broke the 600k mark this past weekend, so everything is possible.

Thank you for the advice. I have decided to walk away from the car.
