That's funny...
My 89 Plymouth minivan had over 360,000kms when I put it to rest.
95 Neon we owned had 235,000 without any issues. We out grew it and sold it.
My 03 Ford Taurus has 185,000 on it with only regular maintenance.

My family and inlaws have:
Pontiac Montana's with 180,000 and 215,000, 350,000 and 375,000 on them,
Pontiac Grand am with 185,000 on it,
91 GMC 2500 with 300,000+ on it,
etc etc.
2001 neon with 260,000 on it.

2006 nissan xterra (highway driven with 140,000 that blows smoke like a chimney)

Unless we are somehow lucky and our domestics are exemplary, I'd say buy a vehicle that has been maintained over a particular brand as lemons exist in all brands.
If you ride a vehicle hard regardless of what it is it wont last.
