Berenice,
Get the newest model year you can afford. Get one with low mileage if you can that still has some warranty left on it. A 1997 is already pretty old now, I'd shy away from that year simply because they were the first ones. 2000 or newer would be the way to go. My 1999 has 72,500 miles on it, no problems. As for making it to 200,000 -- hard to say, these cars are relatively "new" so not that common for anyone to have put that many miles on one yet. There might be a few getting into the 130,000 miles now, but not too much more than that. And remember, a lot of people just drive these cars for fun on the weekends, not as their daily driver. I don't find the maintenance to be that expensive really, but it is more than your generic run of the mill Honda. It's a Porsche after all, just always going to cost more for parts and service.
