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.

For some reason, in this thread there is a lot of "reading into" my words things that I did not say.
I did in no way state that every 240D could make it a half million miles, although with the correct care and operation, most everyone of them could do it. My point was that these cars are CAPABLE of high mileage although the poster was correct in saying that it can't last forever. Is a TDI capable of lasting forever? Probably not.
I am not getting emotional. I am merely responding to posts that are making statements without adequate data to back them up.
