There's nothing wrong with it, it's as good as the Mazda plateform it's built on. It should last a lot more miles if you don't abuse it and give it regular maintance :)

145,000 miles is a lot for any car. Try looking for any car with less miles, as at this point there will be a lot of things ready to wear out. Even if the car is dirt cheap, your maintenace bills will be higher than you think. If it runs OK today, it may be broke tomorrow.
Also, the Escort is one step above a Pinto. Avoid it like the plague.

Test drive a Honda Civic or Toyota Corrolla from the same year. You will undoubtedly come to the conclusion that your car was designed by retards. Of course then you might also come to the conclusion that you wasted the last 145k miles of your life in an inferior car.
