You're asking the wrong guy. I just bought a '91 200 20V TQ Avant with over
200K miles on it. Mechanically it needs a lot of work. So I did the prudent
thing...  I found another one, also with over 200K miles on it, but in much
better shape, and bought it.  I'm *starting* with more miles than Black
Mariah has on it.

"They" say that well-cared I-5 engines are good for 300K miles.  And I'd
guess that by then, you'll be asking if you should keep the car and re-build
the engine, with some minor improvements to it.

But that's just my 2 cents. :)
