But.... Would you really buy a new Mercedes and hope for it to go over 100k miles? I wouldn't... That's not the focus of modern automobiles.

Any halfway decently designed and built car sold new today should be able to do 200,000 if maintained. If it won't, it either isn't designed well or isn't built well.
