I am not sure if the miles on this car are all highway miles or city. Maybe its mostly highway miles and some city miles too

usually you will have to change the engine at about 200K-250K but that depends if they are highway miles or city miles.

I got 380,000 miles out of an 1989 olds sierra, then gave it to my daughter 3 years ago, she is still driving it, if you take care of your car it can last indefinitely, you will still have common problems like, alternator, fuel pump (although the original is still in that olds), muffler brakes etc.

You asked about miles but I think you should have asked about maintenance costs. every 60000 miles you will need to change a timing belt and water pump along with a tune up. thats about 600 dollars a pop. Be sure and plan for that, or they can get expensive quickly.
