Default Switching over(Possibly?)

I'm looking to maybe downsize to a v6 mustang and I was wondering how long a 00,01, and a 04 v6 mustang would last in mileage?

The wife had a 99 that she put 120k on before my father in law stole it. He ran the **** out of it for a bunch more miles before he dumped it. I still see it running around every once in a while. That thing has to be pushing 175k + by now if not more.

Mileage itself is not an indicator of how well a vehicle has been maintained. Best thing would be if you found a car you are interested in, have it inspected by a good mechanic. It may cost a little, but go a long way to help you in finding a decent car.

well i like to keep it under 175k when i'm buying something but higher mileage doesn't scare me at all if the price is right and it seems to be well maintained
