Amazing isn't it....
Those that don't get out much don't see the different effects the environment has in different climates.
Up north and back east salt/mag/calcium eat vehicles for breakfast. In the hot n sunny states, batteries die, the dash cracks, seats fade and paint burns off. Up here they grow a nice protective coat of moss, lol.

FWIW, having lived in most areas/climates in the US at some point, I believe the PNW actually has about the best conditions for longevity of vehicles. Mild temps = easy on batteries and other mechanical components that are affected by temperature extremes.
Relatively little direct sunlight = about the least amount of UV damage anywhere I've been. And rain all the time keeps the undercarriages clean, rinsed and very little buildup of road grime/silt etc = less rust on the body panels and chassis.
As long as the roof or windows don't leak you're good!
