Maybe he has a long commute?

I used to do 50k+ miles a year. I love to drive and it was cheaper paying for car/maintenance/gas then it was to get a place near work.

I have a 15 Bluetec, I am not concerned about the engine or drive line. Just all the electronics, bells and whistles. My 05 CDI not an issue at 225,000

I don't know if I feel sorry for you or I envy you. I'm just wondering if renting a car from any of the large rental companies would make sense in such a situation?

The 05 was the classic I6, Cast Iron block alum head. The I4 in the 250 is also a cast iron block - alum head. The V6 bluetec is all alum I believe. Not that one is better that the other but hard to beat iron in high compression and vibration. BTW anyone notice the high-tech engine mounts on the E250? Look on the driver side. These are serious vibration stoppers.
