Its a good low mileage for an "89.
All the campervans I looked at in the "80s have over 300,000 on the clock. So thats a good start.

Petrol, deisel ?
I have had a few mazda petrol cars and the engines have been good, had a few problems with the later ones with feul injection/computers having minor problems but the basic engines have been sound. My mate had a 2 litre diesel work van that did over 500 000 km trouble free. Dont know if thats any help
cheers

If its the one in Mittigong, it looks really good. I always thought Mazda was a good make but have not owned one myself. I think it said Diesel.

If it's a manual I hope you will not tow anything too heavy with it. Some on other forums are reporting that these have a particularly high first gear and can be hard to get moving is some circumstances.
