This is not normal. I have a 10 year old budget ICE car and nothing is wrong with it. When I change the oil every 10k miles, the same amount I put in still comes out. It has about 240k.

This is the new normal, you just got lucky. For example someone in the comments mentioned his 03 Pontiac Vibe GT - he also got super lucky. Non GT Vibes were powered by factory defective 1ZZFE.

My ICE SUV has nearly 200,000 miles on it and is worth almost the exact same as when I bought it ten years ago. FJ Cruisers are popular.
There's no way I'm buying an EV. I can't charge it where I live, it won't easily refuel where I'm going, and I hate infotainment centers over knobs and buttons.
If I do buy a new car - and I really don't have to - it'll be an ICE without an annoying screen in the middle console.

Lucky you got the quirky FJ instead of more rational Tacoma, Tundra or Sequoia with their disintegrating frames.

Tacomas have incredible resale value.

The remaining driveable ones yes, because most were scrapped https://www.reddit.com/r/1stGenTundras/comments/1jb2h2i/toyo...
ICE cars are practically falling apart between service windows when compared to EV.
