Buying high-mileage car is not an issue, but buying neglected car is. If you can't find a car with a documented history, go with that one over one with low miles.

60K miles of neglect will do more harm than 120K of diligent ownership.

This is not always true. I still have two years of aftermarket warranty left and they paid to have the engine replaced at 70k miles. Car was down for a month and I was in a Jaguar loaner the whole time. Repair bill was $21,000. Total cost to me was $250 (my deductible)

I purchased a car with a great service history. You just never know.
