Default Mileage: How high is too high?

I have been shopping off & on over the past couple of months for a later 850 or an early V70 and have just found a '98 V70 for a very low price. I drove by to take a look at it today, but it's inside at the showroom at the closed dealer. The listing only states 'higway miles' which tells me it's going to be high. I'll be calling in the morning for more details.

My real question is simply how high is too high to consider a purchase? Beyond the obvious known maintenance service itmes, is there anything I should be aware of or checking?

Thanks very much,

These cars will easily do over 300,000 miles.
