I don’t know if it’s that hard as a rule, some models are extremely well catered for - many years after production ceased. I run a fairly rare Peugeot as a near-daily and the internet has made this easier. More access to parts information, better ability to purchase overseas (with or without using Google Translate), contact with other owners worldwide is simpler than even fifteen years ago.
The biggest hurdle with keeping older cars can be collision repairs, you might pay $2000 for a €120 used bumper to be airfreighted because there’s literally nothing to be found in Australia.
