Does anyone build a car to last anymore?

It seems to me that every car over five years of age that I have looked at recently is clapped out due to owner neglect and poor build quality. Toyota and Honda aren't what they used to be. My 1990 Camry is built like a brick sh*t house compared to the new ones. It also seems like nobody likes to take care or there investment these days too. Most of the cars I have looked at have chunky black brake fluid and runny brown anti-freeze. Growing up, when someone bought a car, they took care of it and drove it until it needed to be replaced. Now days most late 1990's models end up at an auction while some sleazy salesman tries to tell your 17 year old sister to finance a $15,000 for seven years. What the hell has happened to this side of the auto industry? Its all so frusterating.
