Seven year loan for a car that will last 12 ain’t that outrageous. It’s a different world now. Keep in mind most new cars have a 10 year warranty too, so if repair costs go up after 4 (not as likely as it used to be as models hardly change anymore and the 4 year old car can usually use parts for this year’s model) you ain’t paying it, the company does. The modern level of vehicle durability has changed all the math.

My 14 year old VW diesel Beetle is still running great. I love my car as much today as I did the day I drove it off the lot. Great car.
