it depends on the car and how fast those 100k were put on the car. Overall maintenance of the car is alot more important than mileage alone.

Just look for a high mileage car that has had LOTS of new parts put on. You don't want to buy a high-mileage car with a lot of original parts....I learned that the hard way. :/

Let us know the car, engine, and year. I would buy a Toyota Tercel with 200k on it, but I wouldn't buy a Rover with 50k on it.

It entirely depends on many factors. There are also always exceptions to the rule. You might get a lemon Toyota (like my wife's Tercel) or a good Rover (like my neighbor's Discovery with 300k)
