In what world is 389k miles not a lot? Unless we're talking kilometers here, which I only thought about as I got this comment going, and then it's still 240, which is still a lot, IMO. Back when I used to drive a lot (feels like I keep saying that), I was doing 18-20k annually. So you're talking close to 20 years for 389k miles. Maybe 12 years isn't exactly a lot, but I think getting 20 years out of a car is very good.

In the world of German cars with diesel engines in Europe. It’s not uncommon for a 3 year old Mercedes E-class to already have 800k km on it if it’s a taxi. That’s the level of durability I expect from an ICE engine and I don’t buy cars with unproven engines (so I would never buy a first production year engine or car model)
