Default AU Wagon with 350km runs as new!

I just bought a 1999 AU Falcon wagon with 350km for $4600.
I nomally wouldn't touch a car with so many k's but it just runs so smoothly.
The dealer said it was country k's and i believe him because the interier and body are so clean. I'm thinking if i get another 200k's out of it i'm doing well.
Anybody having good experiences with these AU's at 300 + Km's?

Just about every taxi driver in the country! By 1 million kms, they have usually had 2 engine changes and 3 or 4 auto trans changes, other than that, they seem to be able to run for ever.
