I can't speak for motorists in other locales, but here in the Rust Belt the engines and transmissions are typically the last things to fail. Everything on the undercarriage succumbs to rust and falls apart and the drivetrain is still going strong. I've had cylinder heads off engines with nearly 200,000 miles on them that had virtually no ridge and still had clearly visible cross-hatching- easily good for another 200,000. Just sayin', engine longevity doesn't seem to be much of an issue anymore.
P.S. Unless it's a VW.
