There's no one size fits all answer here, it depends on the car. One thing to be mindful of is the fact that manufacturers discontinue parts after a number of years, and at 15+ yrs. it could become an issue in the future, particularly if it's an oddball make/model. Also many dealerships have cutoff ages on vehicles they will work on, so if you are planning on using a dealership for maintenance, be sure they will work on older cars before buying, or know of a repair shop that can work on your ride.

Depends on car, your best bet is something in between, preferably NOT diesel and no turbo, just naturally aspirated. Look for one that is not too complex to fix.

What make and model? Generally i would avoid any chevy or Ford passenger car and flat out would never buy a dodge/ Chrysler.At 150k you are looking at the general interval for a timing belt and other expensive preventive maintenance. 15 year old cars have depreciated as much as they are going to so barring catastrophic failure you will get your money back.
