I think it can be said, that almost all cars' lifespans are subject to
attention to detail with their maintenance and repairs. Can you get a
maintenance record, or guess how well the car has been taken care of?
This way you can get a better guestimate.

For one data point, I have a 2001 wagon with 94K miles on it. It's
been pretty good, a number of issues that were happened under warranty
during the first 36K.

My 2003 ZX3 with a 2.0L ztec manual transmission has over
185,000 on it. I do oil changes around every 5,000 mile. Does
not burn oil, mostly highway driving. Don't drive with a lead
foot so I get over 40 MPG.

In general, Fords tend to fall a part from rust long before you
should expect the slightest problem with the engine, presuming a
little care (Oil/filters changed regular like Ford suggests).

Do you drive it 375 plus mile a day? That what I do. Some one has
to move all those checks and lone application from the bank branches
to the bank processing centers.
 

1976 Toyota Corolla 250,000 plus, got it with around 60,000 on it,
Junked it because I could not afford to keep two vehicles.
1986 Chevrolet Astro Van 275,000 plus,
Got tired of replacing the crap transmissions.
1987 GMC Jimmy 185,000 plus, got it with around 85,000 on it,
Cost more to rebuild the breaks then the truck was worth.
1987 Ford Escort Wagon 214,000, got it with around 39,000 on it,
Would still be driving it if I had not totaled it.

I sure don't. I only have a 64 mile round-trip commute. And my
fiancee
lives 18 miles away from me. But that doesn't hold a candle to you.
 

I only mentioned the Olds because it's still in use. It's a daily
driver for my sons. It's nice to have something that will carry
4x8 sheets of plywood. Or carry 7 or 8 people. But the main reason
for it is to pull a pop-up camper.

You put a lot of miles on your vehicles.
