I wouldn't be afraid of 170K mile Cummins if I knew it was cared for properly. I would see if I could contact the previous owner. The service life of those engines is 400K, but there are many that have made it to the 1,000,000 mile club.
Engine and transmission yes... everything else is going to be awful tired after 170K miles though. Suspension, seats, AC, electronics, carpet, headliner, etc etc all have a service life too. When you start looking at replacing or repairing these things, costs can add up pretty quick...
