I've seen plenty. My wife's last car was a 96 Sable with 152,000 miles(sold 4 a minivan) and my wife is no friend to an automobile. Never a problem and it ran better/faster than any Sable I'd ever driven before. My 7 year old GT has been dead reliable since new. I feel if any car is serviced regularly, it will last.
Also from my list.
2000 Mercury Sable(mom's work car) -almost 200,000 miles and runs like a champ
1997 Ford Explorer(Inlaws) -she drives it very hard and it runs great (over 100,000 miles)
