On the surface that doesn't sound like a terrible deal, but ...
A timing belt ($1K all the other related stuff) plus struts (seek a second opinion) will be a whole lot cheaper than car payments - and would last you for another 90K+ miles. Add in the insurance and sales tax/ registration differences and you're golden; plus keep in mind, the dealer will still make a goodly profit.
Today, 200K miles is no problem on most vehicles.
EDIT: Due to page breaks I missed the part where it's a done deal. Now just enjoy it.
