Is buying a car with 200K miles a bad idea?

Hello, I'm looking into buying a Mitsubishi Eclipse. A 2001 I believe. The owner says the car is very well maintained and works perfectly. The downside is that it has around 200,000 miles. Would this be worth it? What happens when a car's mileage is too hi

It would be the obvious, everything wears out. Whether it's a good idea would depend on whether those were local or highway miles, how it was maintained and treated and how you plan to use the car.
