All cars can get 200,000 if taken care of.

Yes and no. More and more it's a question of computer modules that are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

The problem becomes when the repair is more than the book value of the car.

No, not all. There's some real POS on the road in the last 5 years -- 3 cyl Mitsubishis and such.

I have an Audi diesel. It’s a very good TDI engine 40+ MPG highway. I expect it to go well beyond 200k. Keeping up on maintenance and changing the oil regularly is the ticket.

Bought my 2013 Jeep Wrangler when new, 218k miles. I take care of it and jumped on the lifetime warranty through Chrysler at around 36k miles.

Agreed...although the body and controls don’t last the same. Most Detroit OEM’s produce vehicles that’ll rust quicker, partly a deliberate strategy imo. German cars seem much better in this regard, they just get a much better paint job.
