I suspect I'd be willing to spend a bit more to get something in, say, the 150k mile range. But I wouldn't be averse to buying one with 250k miles for the right price.
There is a well-maintained one where I made some inquiries with 260k miles asking $8000. Sounds fair but not a GREAT deal.

Plug your maximum dollars into finding the most car you're shopping for. There's what your dollars will buy. That's what most around here seem to do.
The sub-$4,995.00 E320 CDI was the best deal I've seen here. Miles don't hurt these cars.
