There is no age limit on the Cirrus airframe, just 12,000 hours. It's specified in the TCDS. http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/4337926e4be36e5586256c68004f44f8/$FILE/A00009CH.pdf
There is a 10-year re-pack interval on the CAPS and the line-cutters need to be replaced at something like 6 year intervals.
The -22 initially had a life limit of 4,350 hours that has since been raised to 12,000 as testing progressed. Not uncommon at all for a new design.
IIRC, Cirrus is doing testing to extend the current hour limit as well.

12 years doesn't sound like enough, given the price point of the cirrus.
Think about all the 60's and earlier cessna's we have running around.....doesn't make it worth it to me
