Yep!
If you're handy enough to fix your own car, it's much cheaper to buy and own a car with >100000mi. If you're not handy, or if you're willing to spend more for the convenience of not having to fix your car, get something newer.
The Subaru is still running strong at 157000 miles / 13 years old. I keep a log of all the parts I replace on it, and most of them are wear items like the clutch, struts, and tires. It's never failed to start or broken down, though it has inconvenienced me and needed the occasional field repair. YMMV.
