As long as that particular car has a good history, then it's a good bet.
Extremely safe and solid.

Bottle of Techron every 2-3 months

They are robust cars. One area you may want to spend some time with is the climate control system. The cc control center (which includes the computer and dash controls) is an expensive part to replace, and some of the A/C parts are pricey. Tie rod ends and ball joints are more troublesome than some cars I've owned, but parts and repairs are cheap.

i had one, my mom had 2. These cars run forever. My moms lasted over 200,000 miles with her doing no maintenance to it. So just imagine if you did a little bit of maintenance every now and then, the car will last for a long time.

Change the timing chain at 200,000 miles.The cold start injector O-Ring might fail,making it hard to start cold,easy fix.Other than that,change trans fluid and filter every35,000 miles.Should run over 400,000 miles.
