Mi16: what kind of car is it at 100k miles?

All:

I have never owned anything other than the 505 series but am lately
getting the urge to diversify portfolio (and hopefully not troubles) and
the Mi16 seems like a reasonable place to start. Should I decide to go
after an Mi16, I would profit greatly from commentary by experienced
hands on the following:

1) assuming that it has been looked after right, what sort of engine
life can one expect from it?
2) if its is running right, what should one drive like (please compare
to 505 V6 or ZDJL)
3) are there special tell-tale signs of trouble to look for in pre-owned
Mi16s?
4) compared to a typical 505, more or less repairs and maintenance
cost?
5) are some years better than others?
6) the price range for decent used Mi16s.

thank you in advance from this and future Mi16 prospective buyers.
