I have 25 and 23 year old cars. Pretty much the only thing that would cause me to get rid of them would be a crash or the frame rusting out.

I've replaced motors and rebuilt trans on each of them respectively. And I'll continue doing that. Parts are still easily accessible and when they aren't anymore, pretty much everything is metal and a machine shop can fab something up.
