I have kept all but two of my cars made since, like, 1980, for over 200,000 miles.
The exceptions:
Ford Escort
Chevy Tracker AKA Suzuki something-or-other
Modern cars are built to last, mechanically, for a very long time assuming you do routine maintenance and don't live in the salt belt. I do live in the salt belt, and all of my old cars have been killed by corrosion, not by wearing out mechanically.
At 105,000 miles, you should be thinking about replacing the serpentine belt and all the rubber hoses even if they look OK.
Why not keep the car another 100K?
