Cars today may be harder/more expensive to fix, but they do seem to last a lot longer before they need it, and as pointed out down thread they tend to last a lot longer in the absolute sense.

As a kid, we had a van that made it to 150k miles and my parents friends were amazed it was still on the road. I've personally owned 4 or 5 vehicles older than that, all in better shape than that van at 150k.
