Some decades back I thought I was done with the old Vette, I stuck it in a rented garage for 7 years then pulled it out and resurrected the old sled. I think I'm done again, WTF! It's a conundrum to say the least. I would suggest that owning your TD for just 15 years with the few miles you drive it is no where near done from my perspective.

Yeah sounds like you've had a long "marriage" of sorts with that Vette, with the highs and lows that involves. I've only owned the wagon for around 5 years, but had a nice 240D sedan for 10 years before that, which was in nicer condition overall, but a slug in traffic (automatic) and the wagon is so much more useful in many ways, for hauling etc.
As long as I can keep the snow, salt and rust away from my wagon, it may well outlive me! Unless some future government outlaws such "polluting" cars and forces me into some kind of electric Jetson car...
Yeah, and then the possibility of unobtainium parts, as people alluded to re: vacuum pump.
Cheers.
