The mileage you put on that car is pretty amazing ! I am revisiting all the easily remedied (likely to strand) needs of our 1999 SE prior to giving it away - and it's remarkable how well some of the original components have held up over 19 plus years and 230K miles.
Frequenting a board like this, there's a natural emphasis on fixing issues, but I can't imagine most of the new cars of today will be in as robust a condition in two decades. The 'rose colored glasses & memory' effect is real, but so is the objective observation that these cars were very soundly made =).
