2000 Chrysler 300m - 150k miles? good/bad?

I'm interested in buying a used chrysler, everything has been checked and there are no known issues, and the owner has taken care of oil regularly, etc.. would 150000 miles be an okay amount? its under 15k miles per year which is pretty good(I think?)...

Update:

:) I mean that the owner let me bring it to a garage, and there haven't been any issues that my mechanic found(brakes, etc, etc.). Theyre asking $2,3000 or best offer

    Sorry, but that car is a poor choice - transmission problems, fuel system issues, bad suspension defects. Stay away from Chrysler in General, but those early 300's are bad news.

    Well yeah, it's almost a 14 year old car, so that's a little more than 10k a year which is at the low end of average wear nowadays. I would make sure you lookup the VIN on carfax or something similar and also put that info into Kelly Blue Book and make sure your getting a fair price. My car is an '04 Chrysler and it only has 40k on it (sat in a garage for a while) and my re-sale value is barely $4k... so just make sure your not getting ripped off even if its average miles.

    Aside from all that, go ahead and buy it if the price is right for you.. just keep in mind, if there are no problems as of now, there will be soon... if it has no "known" problems at 14 years, it will within the next few most likely.
