Is high mileage and proven better than low mileage and unproven?

[Simmsled]

At what point does the car become too tired, even if it has been immaculately maintained?
If in the rust belt, and driven during winter, it would seem that the body would rust away before all of the mechanicals were beyond their effective service life.
Dunno what could really be done to save the body, but I would have to say a low mile car with limited service history would be my choice inside the rust belt.
Outside the rust belt... the car that was better maintained, regardless of mileage, would be my choice.

Miles mean a decent amount to me in my ZHP mainly because I plan to hold onto the car.

My last e46 had 198k on it with regular maintenance and it is still being driven by my buddies GF and has over 215k on it.

I honestly think a m5x car should run for ever as long as it is never over heated and well cared for.
