I have an internal 'clock' of 200K miles that I try to aim for with my cars. I find that reasonable for Saabs at least. We buy our cars about 3 years old, and with a 200K target we drive them for about 10 years.
We have 3 in our stable now:
2003 9-5 Aero 48k miles
1995 900S 146k
1994 900T CE 101k
So, the next one to be replaced is the 1995 which with some care and feeding should make it to that mark in about 3 years. I'll get the Aero as my daily driver, and then she'll pick out the next newish 'keeper'. The 94 vert may start appreciating with any luck, but it only gets driven about 4k miles a year.
