Same. We're at 17 and 18 years, and we're looking for replacements because we want something more efficient. We'll probably sell them instead of junking them. We bought one at ~8yo, and the other at ~15yo, each has had minimal issues and I've done most of the work on them myself. Neither have any rust, though we live in a desert, so that's not all that surprised.

Cars absolutely can last quite a while if they're well maintained and designed well.
