Question on Higher Mileage

Hey, all! I owned a Saab 9-3 convertible (2002, if I recall correctly) a bit ago and am now thinking of getting back into the Saab game. I loved my old Saab, and am now looking into one for a second car that will see mainly a short commute (<5 miles) and some occasional winter use. There's a really nice 2008 9-3 Aero XWD that caught my eye and it's in the right general price range, but it has ~160k on the clock. This got me wondering, how long can one reasonably expect a Saab of this sort to go for? I'm used to mainly Toyotas and Subarus, so 160k doesn't scare me outright, but I would never buy a used Dodge with that much on the clock (not that I'm equating Saab to Dodge, mind).

How have all of you gotten on in the higher mileage world? I know it's very owner dependent, but I thought I'd ask for opinions anyway. Thanks!
