The last 2 american cars I had made it to 200,000 & 250,000 before any major work was done. The industry has come a long ways.

VW reliability scares me too. I've heard entirely too many stories about how quick they bottom out, and how expensive repairs are. Also- diesels retain value entirely too well (around here anyway), so I don't know if I could find a vehicle that would work as a daily (even if the engine is fine, 150k on a body/mechanical parts is enough to concern me).

150K on a TDI is just getting broke in
You will see them with 300K for sale.
All that said do not buy a car because of something I or someone else said.
Make sure you are comfortable with what you buy.
You have the right idea look around and see what you like and give you confidance it will last as a daily driver.
