Default just another prospecting buying question

I am looking at an s70 t-5 and it has little over 100k miles on it. Is that considered high on a volvo? I saw the maintinance stuff to do like replace the hoses and the "stage 0" thread on the other forum. I own a bmw now and it is giving me nothing but problems so i decided to sell it and since i have a loan on the bmw i am looking for a car i can buy and have it payed off. Is a little over 100k miles when the turbo's usually go out? I just want to know if it is still fine to buy a hgiher mileage car... THANKS

What year is it?

100,000 miles is about average miles. I have seen them well over 300,000 miles.
The turbo's are hit and miss on 100,000. I have seen some last 200,000 you never know.
