Please reread kstanf150's post.
Nobody is talking about the manufacturer warranty period.
Only about the entire life of the vehicle.
"Entire life of the vehicle" is an extremely vague term. I worked for an engineering firm that contracted with Mercedes to evaluate prototype and pre-production vehicles for durability and other program reasons...once those vehicles hit 150k, they were crushed. What I take from that is that durability beyond that mileage is no man's land.
