>> There's not much point to a 750,000 mile engine, as the rest of the car is worn out and rusted out at 200,000 miles. I've seen plenty cars get 300,000 miles

I've seen plenty cars get 300,000 miles here in Texas without a spot of rust on them. Do you live in Michigan or something? The salty states have only known rust and salt lol
- WalterBright 5y ago300,000 is a long way from 750,000. Rust is only one of the decays that set in. I grew up in Arizona, where the sun would destroy interiors and paint. Cars also simply accumulate damage that is uneconomic to repair. It takes a lot of work to keep an older car running. My truck is 35 years old, and the window rollup mechanism has disintegrated. The seals around the doors and windows have rotted away. Knobs are missing. The door latch bushings disintegrated and I can't find new ones. The trim, which was glued on at the factory, simply fell off. The paint is about as shiny as an asphalt shingle. The engine runs fine, though :-)
