I'm wanting know when purchasing a used vehicle, how much mileage begins to be too much mileage on that vehicle? What mileage is too high?

i don't think anyone is helping you... 100,000 miles is alot... 50% of vehicles will never get to 100,000... and depending on the car after it reaches 100,000 it's going to need to have the engine rebuilt... ask a mechanic about when this would happen... although some vehicles can go on to 200,000 before this is needed. i had a 1998 explorer go 150,000 with no trouble and a mustang crap out at 85,000

Mileage tells you how far the car has been driven, but it doesn't tell you HOW it's been driven.
A car with five million miles may have been babied every step of the way, oil changed regularly, regular tune ups, gentle driving, and may be the best car you ever had.
On the other hand, a car with five thousand miles may have been hot rodded, clutch trashed, suspension damaged, and may be the worst piece of junk you ever saw.
So, mileage isn't really a deciding factor in buying a car. The condition of the car and the availability of the service records for the car should point you to the best one for your money.

The miles on a used car will affect the price. There are no legal limits to how many miles there are on a car.

Japanese and German cars are long-liners, take it to a mechanic, that's your best bet
