The newer it is, the less miles it should have IMO.

Id rather a 2000 with 90,000 miles than an 04 with 90,000 miles, so that the 90000 miles spent on the 2000 could have been spent within a timespan of 7 years, whereas the 04 would be a timespan of 3 years.

It really depends on how well the car was kept. If they didn't beat the **** out of it and did regular maintianence than it could have anywhere from 50-80k and still last you a good while longer.
