My grandfather bought a new car in 1986 when I was born so that they could drive my mom and me ) (ugh) safely down to my Dad (long story). I moved in with them for a few months when I was 21. The car was still in mint condition and ran perfectly. It was still in mint condition and running perfectly when they sold it to a HS kid in 2016.
Im talking new car clean= no stains, rips, or fading. It was always parked in a carport when not in use. He vacuumed weekly. He washed the car weekly. Waxed. Clean tires with a brush. Logged mileage and amount of gallons purchased in a little notebook. Did regular repairs. No accidents, any scratches were buffed. It was a primary car for 7 years and then secondary for the next 23.
He was an engineer and AF pilot. He took care of his cars like he took care of his planes.
