There are different kinds of "old cars", the kind of old cars made before 70s that are really inefficient with gasoline, but might last another hundred years if maintained, and the kind of old cars made up to 90s that are harder to keep from falling apart, and then the kind made later, which is - not really for future generations.
The more optimized their production is and the less luxurious they are as a thing, the closer they are to something that'll only last their guaranteed time. Preferably for the producer - falling apart into rust a couple of days after that.
