im sitting at about 220,000 miles and with no problems in the past and doesnt seem like any in the near future either i have a 94 v6 xle. As long as it was maintained im pretty sure youll be ok. The v6 do have a common bad head gasket. Thats really low miles considering its 10 years old

buy it now, change oil every 3k miles. live a long and happy life.

i bought the 94 v6 new 10 yrs ago, besides regular maintenance like oil change very 3000 miles and tires brake, i've changed both driving axials, head gasket, power steering pump, and battery once, timing belt change twice already, still has original h2o pump, and recently, 2 o2 sensors at 113,000 miles, 13 gallon of gas will yield around 300 miles, newer models of v6 has better gas mileage. other than that, it just keep running, i guess it depend on now the driver treated the car in the past.
