MM/FF did a article on how do buy a stang, not too long ago.

Also look for oil leaks, the oil pan gaskets on Fox bodies have a tendicy to leak after a while. When you first start the car(then it's cold), put your hand over the exhaust tip. If you feel anything coming out or you have little oil splashes on you hand, WALK AWAY.

As for the miles, 100, 000 mile is 100,000 miles. It all depends on how the car was treated. I would rather have a car with 100,000 miles that had been taken care of, than a pony with 40,000 that's be thrashed. IMHO, if it was me I'd spent a little more money and try to find one with lower miles, but that's just me.
