I'm getting to be that way as well. I usually drive a car for at
least 100,000 miles before even thinking about getting a new one,

as a monthly payment on a new car.
Hell, I usually only buy a car AFTER it has 100,000 miles on it.
Then I drive it until it is no longer drivable. 230,000 so far on
the Subaru Legacy....
I think you get better value looking for something in the 50 - 60K
range. That's enough miles for someone else to take the depreciation,
but not enough miles for benign neglect of preventive maintenance to
adversely affect longevity.
I recently sold at 204,000 miles the Mazda I purchased at 59,000 miles.
My current Ford Focus Wagon was purchased at 58,000 miles. I expect it
to last until at least 200K if not longer.
