Depends on the car, it's maintenance history, and your aptitude for routine maintenance. A well-cared for old vehicle will outlive an abused new vehicle.

Correct. Also, cost difference? Fluid change, alignment, belts you should be OK

I assume you are buying a vehicle with good brakes/tires.

Interiors compare? Onboard systems: guages, ac, heater, radio/cd, lights etc?

And as long as you can still get parts, older vehicles are typically simpler to do routine maintenance on at home. I guess even early 2000's are starting to get modular and full of sensors though anyways.
