Typical buyers are scared off by high mileage, no doubt about it. My own 1998 C230 has just shy of 100K-miles now (157K-km's) and is on the brink of a big value drop thanks to the mileage.
For someone that will be selling the car in the near future, buy one with very high miles and take advantage of the low value. There isn't much depreciation left, and when you resell, you'll come out okay. buying a car on the cusp of being "high mileage" is the wrong move. You'll still pay a reasonable amount for a car with 80-90K-miles. Roll it to 120K and the value will take a big hit. Buy one with 110 or 120 on it, and you could drive it to 150 and not lose much value.
