I think I've bought at least one with 200K -- A white Corola comes to mind. Driving it was an adventure, but it always got there. Lasted a year or two. I drove it a 900-mile round trip once. The return trip in a snowstorm with $10K worth of collectibles stashed in the back, from the estate of my late uncle, of which the executrix (my sister) asked me to sort and sell for her.
It had an odd quirk. There was a break in the speedometer cable covering, so it would wick up transmission fluid, which then dripped out on my foot while driving.
Got 93 LS400 with 240K miles for $1600. Put about $1000 worth of parts with my labor into it and it is like new car. Now it's got 255K. Planning on to drive it as long as possible to avoid new car payments
