I've been commuting that amount since the end of August. I've yet to have a breakdown, but then again, I have been doing as much preventative maintenence as I realistically can. I put on new tires, rotors, pads, tie rod ends, and had ALL the fluids changed. I change the oil every 3K at my local garage and they check the belts and suspension bits every time.
I have them pay particular attention to the lower control arms/bushings, ball joints, shocks, brake hoses, and the cooling system hoses.
Just buy one that has been maintained and preferably comes with a service history. Make sure there's no rot and drive it with care and you should be OK. Pay attention to what the car tells you during your commute. Timing chains, various pumps and other wear items will usually give you audible warning they are going. And be aware the later models (91+ I think) had a slightly stronger transmission, airbags and ABS. And 88+ had the improved brakes.
Good luck!
