Q's about a 2000 E-Class

Me and my fiance are thinking about picking up a 2000 320E. The good news is that the car appears to be in excellent shape and is only $8,800. The bad news is that it has 171,000 miles. We need a good-reliable sedan, so foreign would be the way to go, but would it be worth it with such high mileage? thanks.

Um, we have a 2000, Mercedes E320 4matic (4 wheel drive) asking a bit more but only 64k miles if your interested let me know. Personally I would never buy a car for that price with those kind of miles, unless it's a Lexus and a really really good one.
