I don't worry so much about miles as general condition of the vehicle. If it has been taken care of then there should only be normal general wear items. I have known many guys who took really good care of their trucks and were still driving just fine with over 200,000. I know of one guy who owned an engine/machine shop ad had an S-10 pickup for his gopher truck. That thing was beat to hell so bad the bed was nearly flapping in the wind. It was used for throwing engine blocks in and hauling scrap junk blocks away. Last time I saw it it had 370,000 miles on the original motor and tranny and was still going. It didn't even smoke!

Obviously this precludes those bad problems that do happens sometimes. That is just the nature of mechanical machines!
