It all depends on maintenance... a rebuilt tranny is a good sign. The burning question is were those tensioners changed out. If they were and the price is a real steal as heima mentioned above (and I'm talking less than $2,500 provided the interior, suspension is cherry)... then it might be worth it. Even better if the chains and guide rails were upgraded also... DO NOT take anyone's "yes" for the work being done. Ask for an invoice....but also be prepared to spend $$$ on maintenance...
I have over 200K miles on my Cat... so, it is possible...with proper maintenance...
PS - If you do purchase the car - ensure you change that tranny fluid every 2 years/20K miles and the shop probably filled the case with regular ATF requiring it to be changed more often.
