It would scare me away. This bit about diesels lasting forever is a little overrated and has always been repeated as fact, when it's really not. Yes, they'll run for a long time in a semi doing 100K a year because they run non stop, get serviced and aren't subject to 20 years of sitting around. That coach only averaged 10K a year.
The diesel engine may still be running fine, but brakes, shocks, airbags, bushings, hydraulics and all the other related parts won't do 200K. The interior has to be pretty worn by now too.
