Yes, it is worth buying the car for 5 grand. Yes, the engines generally do not last for 100K miles. A new engine will cost about $2K + install. Search for more info.

At 100K miles, the motor is due to blow anytime soon.
$5K is a good deal for an FD even w/ a blown motor. As long as the body is in good shape, it's a good buy.
A reman motor is $2K from Malloy Mazda.
