2002 ford explorer. You don't see many 20 year old cars on the road at all, but that thing was already a rare sight by 2012 when I ignorantly bought mine.
After owning that pile of scrap for 2 or 3 years, when the 2nd transmission gave way and the front left suspension just sorta collapsed in on itself, I was left surprised that any of those cars survived beyond 2003.
I don't buy new cars. I buy them 5-10 years old, and for a bit before, try to keep an eye on how many I see of them on the road. Not very scientific, but it gives you an idea of their longevity.
