How many miles is too many miles?

I sold my second 9-5 last fall (, and have been kicking myself ever since. I'm trying to find another pre-06 9-5, and am finding mostly high mileage cars in the earlier years I want. I've heard the theory that the ones with higher mileage are good bets to keep going strong (dutiful maintenance and less short trips), and that makes some sense. How much life can be left in these cars at 200k and beyond, and at what point will the engine and gearbox need an overhaul? A clean well cared for 9-5 for little more than 2 grand seems a helluva lotta car even with 150k miles. Thoughts? Thanks! Jon
