Highest mileag car I've driven was a mercedes e class 2.7 cdi, that had done 304k on a 53 plate with about 250k round the town, worn out wasn't the word. My miggy was on 166k when I sold it I think.

I'd hope you get a lot more! Mine is approaching 120k and still revs/pulls fine. With doing about 30k /year (motorway miles) I think it will hold together till at least 200k  :y

I had a 1996 Volvo 850 2.5 petrol estate come in as p/x a few months ago. That had done 208,000 miles, and actually drove really well, everything worked and it wasn't a bad car.
Highest mileage Omega I've had is 122k, and lowest was 28k miles.

My very first Omega was a pre mini facelift 2.5 CD estate with a manual box and running on an old LPG system. It had covered nearly 250,000 miles when I sold it and apart from the normal service items was still on its original engine/box/axle ect. It still ran really well and looked good when polished (star silver) but I thought its going to go bang sooner or later so I sold it. I still say it knocking around for about 12 to 18 months after I sold it :)
