Buying a used car with 180k bad idea?

I'm looking to find a reliable car in the 2k price range & have came across a really cute 99 honda passport with 180k miles on it. The listing said the car has a new starter, timing belt, crank and cam seals, water pump, ac serviced, new tires but still needs an egr valve. Does this sound like a lemon or what? I'm just hesitant cuz i don't want something to break down on me or have to put a lot of money/work into

Added (1). I didn't mean lemon. Like that. I mean like with all those new parts.( i know its good that they've been fixed) but is that a sign that things are starting to go wrong, like if one thing leads to another or am i just overthinking this? & yes you're right i don't know a lot about cars.

That's about what you're going to find in the $2k range. I always suggest that you spend $100 and have an independent mechanic check it out. At least then you will have a much better idea of the mechanical condition. The thing is, most $2k car sellers will not be too willing to let you take it to the mechanic, but in never hurts to ask. Just remember, with ANY used car it could last you 10 years or 10 miles.

Old cars means always having to invest money in it. Trust me, don't

How is it a lemon? It is a 99, meaning it has lasted 16 years.
Lemons break down within the first 2 years from NEW!
Cars should last easy 20 years.

But you know nothing about used cars, so either find a mechanic to evaluate it for you or buy new.

Thats such a good deal for 2000$

Don't listen to Osky. He must be a TERRIBLE car salesman.

That vehicle is an Isuzu Rodeo. One of the worst quality SUV's ever made. My dealership has a Honda franchise and HAD an Isuzu franchise. My owner would not even let us take either the Rodeo or Passport in on trade because they were nothing but problems. Terrible cars.
