IMHO, overall condition is has more to do with value, then milage.

Example, I deal a lot with older VW bugs. recently, I bought a 63 with 40k original miles. but it was junk. The car had been rolled in the 70's and sat outside in a field since then.

I also bought a 58 with well over 100K on it, but was in good shape, being babied and cared for by an loving owner.

Which car is worth more? i know those examples are extreme, but it applies to all cars

Condition always trumps mileage as a factor in figuring a cars value. I wouldn't pay a premium for a low mileage car unless it was well documented.
