Not even a Volkswagen would last through that many winters here without
complete exhaust replacement in that much time, along with belts, hoses,
brake rotors, anything else that road salt attacks.  The German cars
seem to hold up the best, the Japanese the worst, but any good car will
outlast its body here.
