the automotive industry considers 12k to 15k a year to be average mileage on a used vehicle. Having a trusted mechanic look the car over is better than relying on the odometer alone. There may or may not be other problems. I drive a car w/ over 200k miles on it and it still looks like new. Other cars at 50k aren't worth taking home.

Well... As always the lower the better. But if you're buying a used car . Try to stay within the under 50,000 range for a car that's 5 to 10 years old. If the car is less than 5 years old then try for anything less than 25-30,000 miles, and of course the condition of the body,frame, and electrical systems are very important too.
Also make sure the car as not been in any collisions over the years.

15,000 miles per year, but, premium sports cars the rule is 10,000 miles per year,
Any modern car with fuel injection should last 500,000 miles.
I've owned cars, (Hondas, Toyotas, and Volvos) that were at 150,000 to 250,000 miles. Just seems that the American 'Big Three' didn't last so long!
I have owned over 700 autos, trucks, and motorcycles, and boats (was a dealer for ten years, too!). I have been a mechanic on all my own vehicles, plus, owned garages and gas stations with full service, for over 8 years. When I need wheels, I'll take almost anything, fix as I go... leaks get my FULL attention!!!

I would say anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000, but after 100,000 miles you can get the car a lot cheaper.
It all depends on the history of the car. Some cars pass 200,000 miles easy, while others won't.
It all goes on maintenance

You get really good mileage with smaller cars with fewer cylinders. I don't think smaller cars are all that safe though. A good mileage is anything over 23mpg local, 28mpg highway.
Research crash test results too. Good luck!

this depends on how old the car is.
estimate 12,000 miles per year.
best way to check the overall price of the car is to go on kbb.com
