IMO, never drive your personal car on those trips to NH... 2.8K miles round trip for 11.2K miles per year... that's the equivalent of 5 to 9 months of your normal driving... you are better off renting a small car that gets great mileage. Forget about repairs, just compare the depreciation and cost of normal wear and tear, (tires, oil changes, filters, etc), for those miles vs. the rental fee.
Personally, I never take my 99 9-3 with 161K miles more than an hour away from home as I don't want to even contemplate the hassle of getting a Saab repaired in an area I don't know the mechanics and possibly waiting for parts away from home, or deal with the much higher costs of a dealer, (if there is even one around).
