In the US, engine "overhauls" practically never happen, at least with mainstream consumer vehicles. A vast majority of the time, the engine outlasts the rest of the car. In the north, the body rusts to pieces. In the south, the paint peels off and the transmission fails, and the cost to repair usually exceeds the cost of a used car with 100,000 fewer miles on the clock.
I imagine the same is true in Germany.
So, we could just wait until they all fall to pieces?
