Good cars over 100,000 miles?

I'm looking to purchase a used car. I have a budget of $7600 and everything I'm finding is over 100,000 miles or kept in poor condition. I talked to one of my friends who is a mechanic and he told me that mileage is everything but I can't find anything low mileage in my price range. He told me to look at Toyota and Honda but I really don't like either. My question is what other cars should I be looking into purchasing?

Mitsubishi cars. I bought an 03 Lancer that had 120K miles and it serves me well. Mitsubishi is the best. I recommend going on cargurus.com and do some shopping on there. Search by make, model, mileage, price. Every possible way. It was also has every single make there's and models that no longer exist.

Toyota & Honda are great cars but its tough finding them with reasonable miles and a reasonable price.

But there are plenty of cars with under 100k for $7600 & under.

I dare say you could find something under 70k but it wouldn't be Toyota or Honda.

In 40 years of buying almost exclusively used cars I have found 100K miles is the sweet spot for buying used cars. At 50K miles it is hard to tell how a car has been treated; at 100K miles it is hard to hide. I can more reliably get another 100K miles out of a car that has 100K miles on it already than one that has only 50K miles. Just be sure to have it looked over carefully.

4 cylinder engines hold up just fine. My daughter's 4 cylinder Accord was traded in at 258K miles, my 4 cylinder Prius is going strong at 178K miles, my son's 4 cylinder Acura is doing fine around 190K miles.
