I guess I am just not used to thinking of a drive train lasting an additional 600,000 miles in addition to the already almost 300k on it now! Hahaha! That would be amazing to be sure! I know there are OTR truckers that get 1 million miles on their rigs, and I am guessing their diesels are similar engineering wise as far as robustness goes...
Just a paradigm shift in thinking for me as I am part of the throwaway generation and have been taught to replace my car every 80k miles, or 10 years at most!

If you do proper maintenance and repairs, the wagon should last your lifetime. The period for catastrophic failures from manufacturing defects is long over. You just have to stay on top of things and use premium parts for maintenance and repairs. Rust is not an issue for you, so no problem there.
