How much is too much - mileage

When looking at used gas based MH's, is the an amount of mileage where you would be concerned? As an example, would 75,000 miles be acceptable on a 8 - 10 year old MH? How about 90,000 miles? I know diesels go on for much longer but have no "rule of humb" for a gas MH.

Thank!

Care of the engine is the important item here. If the oil was changed regularly it makes a big difference. I only have 38K on my MH and it is 10 years old. Normal usage would be a few more miles per year than mine. I think tires should be a huge concern also. If the tires have a lot of tread but are over 7 years old the chances are they need replacement immediately. Fortunately you can see the date of manufacture on tires but not oil changes and their frequency.

Engines with a goodly number of miles don't concern me, if they have had good maintanance.

The number of miles your planning on driving the MH each year is another factor to consider when determining the number of miles your willing to accept a used MH with.
