So, out of curiousity why do you think 200K is a question mark?
I'm at about 185,000 miles, including the spring recall work, and no issues so far.
Then again, I've had "good luck" with almost all my cars, and never have been "afraid" of cars with miles, including two GM vehicles that had nearly 300,000 miles on each. I can think of 10 cars I've owned that had more than 150,000 miles on when I traded them in that were all still running when I did so. Heck I own a Mustang, Suburban, and a Scion right now that are all over 120,000 miles and one Honda that's over 210K.
One of them had a second engine, but it was installed under warranty and went another 250,000 miles with the second engine. All the others, had their original motors, transmissions and had only minor (under $1000) repairs done to them.
