Default V6 2.5 Litre engine life?

Hi all

I'm looking at a vehicle with the 2.5 Litre V6, it has about 180,000 kms on it. Can anyone who has experience with this motor please advise if that's considered to be high mileage for what is essentially a very small six?

If possible I need an answer today - I have two vehicles that I'm deciding between?

Cheers

Steve

As long as its been correctly maintained, serviced regularly with the correct oil etc it should be fine.

Thanks Dru - I'm in Victoria and its with a dealer in Adelaide; so I cannot really check that. I guess its going to be a bit hit and miss.
