How many miles on a 2.3?

Looking at buying a Turbo T-Bird (maybe) it is a 87/88 with a 5-speed.
The car has 180k miles on it.
The current owner had replaced the head (just an OEM replacement with a valve job, etc...) along with the belt, water pump etc... while he was there.

He stated the cylinder walls looked good still had cross hatching marks.
Most of the miles were supposedly highway.

How long can these turbo motors go?
I would like to get atleast 25-30K more out of it (just driving back and fourth to work)
