High mileage lasting cars? 850

I'm looking for a good car to use as a daily driver and also for a project.
I am presently seeking a 86+ 240 (most likely) but I also like 850's.
My price range is pretty low right now being a college kid but I wonder if you all think that a cheap 850 would be a lasting car or a lemon?
My friend bought one recently w/ 100K+ and it seems to run strong, even as well as our 65K mile 96.
Do they tend to have the longevity or the older models?
Thanks for any advice
Oliver

In limbo as of now between my old rust bucket and a 86+ 240/740 or a cheap 850
