Really, any car will last over 100 grand as long as you don't think you're in NASCAR driving down the interstate or in the NHRA out of your driveway. I had a 1965 Ford Falcon S/W I bought for $300 while in the military and it had 132000 miles. It was a desert area car (Mojave Desert) and the engine was caked with sand. I didn't clean the engine, just gave it preventative maintenance: plugs, wires radiator fluids, transmission oil change, engine oil changes and the lube jobs. The old car turned out great, taking me from California to Texas and back, twice. I put another 98000 miles on her. I got shipped overseas and I sold it. Broke her heart I guess because the fellow Marine who bought it said the timing chain busted a week later. I also bought my wife an '87 Chevy S-10 straight off the lot with 2 miles on the odometer. When the little Blazer met its doom by the hand of her son six years later, it had 128000 miles. I did the same treatment as I did with my Falcon except I did wash the engine. Again, so's long as you don't race the car nor drive like a granny among the rush hour traffic, with a little time the cars will last.
