Default expected longevity of 2006 Magnum RT AWD?

Hey y'all. Im looking at buying a 2006 Magnum RT AWD. It's priced right and is exactly what I am looking for except for the higher miles. It's at 90k. I was wondering if anyone knew how much I could hope to get out of it for miles as I put on a lot of miles a year. --this is assuming I do all the proper maintence and what not--
I havent been able to find much info on how long this engine / trans is running.

The bad news is that the car/engine hasn't been around real long to say that it will last 200k miles or not, but if the car was well maintained and you keep up the maintenance, it should last you a long time just replacing the wear and tear items (brakes, tires, suspension, etc)

The car R/T AWD is a great car, but with that mileage, I would have mechanic take it for a ride and take a quick look to see if anything needs done asap or if anything is going to go in the near future. Good bargaining tool too if needed.

I have 97K on my 2006 R/T AWD. I've done all the maintenance on it myself, but just had the dealer flush the trans and coolant. Zero problems with mine up till now, except for a trans leak - very common. I've noticed that my front bearings are getting loud and will need to be replaced soon. I'm hoping to get 200K out of the car. Got about 5 more years to go!
