The road condition in California is much better than other
parts of US or other parts of the world. ;-) So the life
of the car battery is also better and they can live longer. ;-)

>From my limit experience with cars (I do not know how to drive
and can not afford a car here in Singapore anyway), a 10-year 
old car in CA has similar conditions as a 5-year old car in NY.
