True enough.

Youtube has many videos of cars from the Bad Old Days that were parked 30 years ago with <100,000 miles due to some catastrophic failure. But people are very nostalgic about them and restore them, probably to better than new condition.

All 3 of my post year 2000 cars have over 100k and run just fine.
