Getting a great deal on a 2006 SL Murano with many options (sunroof, backup camera etc.) for only $17,000 CDN (about $16,000 US). The vehicle is in excellent condition but has 70,000 miles (112,000km).
1) IS this too high mileage for an 06?
2) how long should MOs last (miles)?
3) what should i look out for?
4) It is an eastern canada car, and there is some corrosion on the frame on the bottom. Is this a big problem?
Please anwer ASAP because i'm buying in a few hours!!! THANKS!!!

Low mileage for a Nissan. But the key question for me would be why is it being sold? (and, of course, if the seller is being honest with you about the reason).

It all depends on the details of the mechanical inspection, be sure to get it inspected at a garage of YOUR choosing and talk to the mechanic, let him know that you want a detailed inspection including road test since you're a little nervous about buying it. You can talk to the seller all you want but what is most important is the a) mechanical inspection b) all the service records/receipts - go over these in detail and make sure he didn't miss or over-extend oil changes. If he doesn't have records, this is a definite negative because impacts of skipping oil changes may not show up when inspected, you really need to have the maintenance documentation.
Good luck, this sounds like a really good deal, but since it has over 100k km I wouldn't say it's an amazing deal, but still good and I wouldn't worry about the mileage. The good thing about higher mileage in a relatively new vehicle is that you know it's almost all highway - vs an older vehicle with low miles where it's mostly city. Remember, low miles isn't automatically a good thing, so don't worry about it in this case!!!
