Nicole, I'd say that what you have there is going to last you several years with good maintenance. One of the guys on another car list I frequent has 240,000 miles on his 3.5L Eagle Vision, which is essentially the same car you have. Being in Colorado, you don't have the rust issues we do up here in Michigan, so it's just a matter of maintaining mechanical stuff. You might start budgeting for transmission repair. What you have right now could last a long time, being that it's a 97, they made a lot of improvements to the trans between 1993 and then. But if you can see your way clear to socking away an extra $1500 over the next year, and in the meantime CHANGE THE FLUID, you'll be ready if it does let go.
