Yeah, my 2001 that just died of rust still had almost all its original parts. I mean CV joints, ball joints, starter, power steering pump, fuel pump, every single bearing, all original. Can't think of everything. I replaced the radiator once on a preventive basis to avoid the dreaded pink milkshake, the timing belt once, the alternator because I couldn't purchase just brushes, diff oil a couple times, and I think that's it. Insanely durable - still had the ORIGINAL transmission fluid and front diff fluid. And purred like a kitten yesterday when I traded it. Rust is disheartening. You keep using OEM parts and good, fresh oil, and no telling how long she'll last.
