> I've always been told that mileage--not time--is the main variable.

And my experience is exactly the opposite. I have never had a car die from mileage. I've had several die from time.

In my experience cars last about 10 year, 15 if you are careful. How many miles you drive during that time is mostly irrelevant.

Personally I think cars should track hours when turned on, not miles.
