How Long
Typically how long do the SSEi engines last, my supercharger has been rebuilt and the engine has 253604 kilometers on it. The reason Im asking is I want to dump some money into the car (what little I have) but if I am already on borrowed time then I will simply put the money away for my next car. The most I need out of my car still is 2 years of driving at about 15-20000 k'* a year. Now I know there are exceptions to the rule and some last a long time but on average how long do the cars last.

EDIT: Actually, I remember looking at the Series III engine and talking about it with my dad at the auto show. He was pointing out some places on the engine that haven't changed, and pointed out certain areas of the engine where leaks commonly happen. I guess if you keep an eye on that stuff, you'll be fine.
