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.
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.

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?
