The two early-00's Chevy Ventures in my family still get along just fine. Yeah they're not pleasant for long trips due to the interiors having been shot for a long time, but mechanically they're doing all right at 150k miles and 220k miles. The 220k mile one is actively being ignored (cheap parental unit) except gas/oil changes and yet still hasn't kicked the bucket.
Most of the larger GM's my family has owned have all gone way up in years/mileage before kicking the bucket. My '89 Olds made it 15 years and 150k miles of very indifferent maintenance before succumbing to rust. The previous 1980 Pontiac made it to age 16 before being replaced by the 89. We've had good luck (so far) with large GM cars making it to ripe old age in my family.
