This is only a question of satisfaction.

Choose a "date of expiration" and keep it as new as possible (factory parts only over cheap aftermarket) and on a maintenance schedule that reflects daily, weekly, monthly, qtrly, annually intervals. Let the miles fall where they will as time will do what miles will not. Keep it garaged, and wash it weekly.

Total miles doesn't matter so much as does the lowest cost of ownership/operation as reflected in cents-per-mile calculations. High miles in 15-year ownership schedule (above 20k annually) is a problem needing other solutions.
