There are lots of parts for some things, not so much for others.
Please give an example.

You live in CA where cars don't rust out, so you should be fine! the part you have to worry about is the uni-body.
Engine wise, you can get a whole used engine from a scrap yard for less then $200 most of the time, same with most other parts, if you can't find it new you can get it cheap used.

Those are all over the place.
Easy to fix.
inexpensive to buy.
