I was kinda hoping to get 200K out of my 4.6is. I just purchased it with 95K on the clock. Runs and drives like a new car - all maint has been kept up always at the dealer. PPI showed no issues other than brakes were 2/3 worn. Some things have already been replaced - entire cooling system as preventative and alternator because it died. Also all other long term maint items have been done except spark plugs.

Now that is a V8, which may not last quite as long as a I6, but I had 200K as a reasonable service length in my head. And sure - some other things on the car are going to need to be replaced from time to time, and I kinda doubt the trans will make it that long. But considering the car is still just as nice as it was new, buying it for 1/4 of the original price when maybe 1/2 of it's useful life has expired is not a bad trade-off.
