You're just getting emotional and not being logical. Not every 240D will reach 500K miles. 500K miles is A LOT and most people don't drive that much. I've seen plenty of W123 diesels for sale with rebuilt engines, some not even reaching 200K miles on the original engine. Could be a maintenance error, could be something else. I've also seen some newer TDI's with over 200K or 300K miles on them already. All miles are not created equal and there will always be exceptional cars reaching crazy mileage.
