Logic should tell you 170,000 miles is a lot for a car. But if it looks good in person(since you posted no photos). Then I guess it could be "good". So far this looks like a bad idea to me.

IF this is your only car and will be daily driving it, I would certainly have it checked out by a shop before the purchase... I would be a bit hesistant until then and would be until i spent money going through it making sure the major things were replaced or fixed.
If your stealing the car ( which you should ) and basically building it from scratch then yes its a great idea.

also if i can get it for a good price then it will definitely be worth it. even if i have to do a motor build in a year. Although does anyone here know any thing particular i should be looking for when i do go look at it??

It is a good idea , so when people ask how much miles it got you tell them "170,000 and still rocking"
But seriously take all the precautions high mileage doesn't have to be bad , just that it has been driven alot. and it this case alot.
Good Luck

wow, at least thats a testament of the quality of the car if you take care of it! but I personally wouldn't buy a turbo car used especially one with that high of mileage on it.
