I might be dating myself on this forum...But my first car was a 1980 Ford Laser. Those are 13" Revolution wheels with Dunlop Qualifier tires.......Real old school for allyuh young boys on the forum.

Well it's economical, not much to maintain really. You don't have to worry about it getting stolen it as it's a Euro. There are not much upgrades and parts are very expensive, so in the event of even a minor accident, yuh cyar just go bamboo with $40 and get parts. I've got a Skoda Octavia as a daily driver. All in all, a great daily driver to me.

I find the car very kewl! Wouldn't mind one especially since resale is horrible!

How relevant is the mileage on the engine? Does it make sense buying a car with 100-50k miles on it?

In addition to looking out for the normal cracked hoses and fluid leaks, you should do a compression test on the engine to get an idea of its condition. If the owner used to keep a good record of the maintenance done on the car (bonafide service/repair bills), that will also help you assess the condition.

You wanna learn about cars? Get an old car and learn as you go along(Ke70/910/B11 etc)
Dont care to learn about cars and on a budget, get something cheap to maintain and parts are readily available.
CK2, EG/EK, B14 etc etc.

Good advice
