as a volunteer at a couple of local churches, I get to see how they age, along with other makes and models. I’m continually impressed by how the interiors hold up, and at least some of them feel like quite good, heavy, solid vehicles. We’ve got one person who has work done at both churches, and while it always has something else wrong with it, it drives like an old Benz and gets my respect.... but working on it is a headache. Where they can have issues is poor wrench angles, hours of labor to get a plug coil or other $20 sensor, and a plethora of nuisance repairs at 150k. They haven’t reached a point where their engineering looks at maintainability.
