If you're going to keep the car for a million years I'd be inclined to rethink the mandatory diesel engine. Euro IV and Euro V emissions standards require some pretty prescriptive servicing and it's not until warranty-over-time that some of the potential costs appear. Similarly, the dual mass flywheels get a serious battering with a diesel engine's high flywheel torque. 6 cylinder engines are much better though in this respect.

Happy shopping,
