If I am buying from the original owner, or second owner who has owned for quite some time and has records of maintenance and repairs, I can be comfortable with 100k. Without records or prior owner to talk to, about 60k is my max or the vehicle better look darn nice and all the fluids look great...

I just sold a car with 128k on it, didn't want to sell, didn't have to sell, it was just the right thing to do for us at this point in our lives. It did not use a drop of oil in 5k intervals with Mobil1, and needed nothing.

Currently we have an 01 Accord with 94k and a 97 Caravan with 58k. I plan to run both of them to at least 150k before replacing - and at that point I may re-evaluate and drive them to 200k or even beyond as the value will have bottomed out anyway.

Rust is not an issue down here, but sun damage to the paint and interior sure takes its toll!
