Yea, not much experience with Northern weather on cars, but the ones I've had tended more in the 200-250K range before they had what I would consider major, non-maintenance expenses. I've had 5 cars over the years in that range.

Very true. Pretty much any car can be kept running nearly forever if you are willing to spend money to do it. Cars that reach a million miles don't get there without a lot of non-maintenance parts replaced.
