Mileage question

Upon my return to the states i am planning on buying a 05 or 06 f350. reasoning being i dont want to spend all my savings and i dont finace vehicles. Is there a certain mileage i should strive for? it appears that i can save a few thousand if i purchase in the 90K mileage range.

Basicly at what point do power steering pumps, alternators, etc ware out?

Thank you!

I haven't heard of a lot of power steering pump issues, so I think they're pretty dependable with proper maintenance. My experience with alternators is that they probably last 100,000 to 150,000 miles but they're a pretty easy fix.
