How many Shutters can be taken from Nikon d3200?

The Nikon D3200 has a shutter that has been stress tested to 100,000 shutter cycles without a failure

Under normal conditions, you will never put that kind of stress on your cameras shutter and if you refrain from machine gunning your subjects using the continuous shooting mode.

If the camera is in good shape (no dings or signs of heavy wear) and the lens has been protected by a UV filter (no abrasions or scratches on the front element) and the lens zooms smoothly, then it should be safe to buy.

EDIT: I have an old Nikon D100 with over 120,000 shutter cycles on it and it is still performing well.

None. If you do, the camera would be left useless.

Most dSLR's are rated to 100,000 shutter actuations. That's not only pictures take. LiveView and sensor cleaning add to that count too.

You're talking about the shutter count… Not "shutters" but the shutter count. That's how many photos have been taken with a particular camera.

Modern dslr cameras, in particular Canon and Nikon, are rated to about 100,000 before they'll need a tune up so buying a dslr is a long term investment.

Used? I always advise against used gear unless you know the person selling it. Can you hold it and shoot with it and then upload and look at how it performs? Has it been roughed up? Wet? Has it always been stored in a bag or case when not in use? Has the battery always been pulled when the camera goes into storage? All of these are important questions, too many questions… Frankly I don't trust used gear.

A shutter count of 12000 is a pretty small number. You can expect around 100000 shutter cycles. Could be less, could be more. By the time you hit that number, you'll be ready for another camera body.

By shutter count, it is fine. Be sure to thoroughly check out the rest of the camera before separating from your cash.
