300K is quite high.
well maintained the motor is capable of 500K plus... yours seems to have records, you should verify the records match the vin on the car, then look them over and see if the coolant was maintained regularly and see if the head has been replaced with a more recent model like the 18 or 22...
the motors are readily available to replace if you do run into problems. I would test drive it, and have it inspected for compression, and blowby.
the price is not bad. so cal cars are highly sought after...
good luck, and welcome to the forum!
