Hey car people...how long can a vehicle survive with an oil burning issue?

On my way home from work yesterday, I was driving behind an old and tired early 2000's Chevy Malibu that was belching [b]blue[/b] smoke, which is a sign that it had an oil burning problem.

I know of a 98 saturn that I'll bet money will double its 260000 miles. As long as the current owner adds a little oil evey few days. And I'm pretty sure my 04 jeep that I'm driving now was burning oil before I bought it 8 years ago.

@Notanymore I haven't seen a 90's Saturn car in ages. Most of the ones that I see nowadays I think are from the mid-late 2000's.
