How reliable is a 1993 240sx with 127k miles on a 1998 240sx motor?

I'm starting to buy my first car and i love s13s. I'm not looking to drift or race it...... yet. haha. but i do need it to be a good reliable car because i commute quite a bit. I wonder if i could get some feedback on how reliable you guys think a 1993 s13 would be that has 127k miles on a 1998 stock motor?

Doesn't really matter how many miles it has, to an extent of course. You can buy a motor with 20k original miles and have it be a piece of garbage motor. It all depends on how well the motor was taken care of, if the owner(s) did the required maintenance and such. If they did, and they didn't really abuse it than I would say you're pretty safe, but again assuming they did the maintenance when they needed to.
