“Its all about planned obsolescence.”
If that is true, when were vehicles not made with planned obsolescence?
The old ones with 6 volt systems/ Good luck below freezing?
1960-70? Good luck finding one not assembled on Monday or Friday? Or deer season or St Stanislaus Day...
The 1980s? with air pumps and a massive array of smog control crap.
The 1990s? Better but they came with touch controls. In case you missed it, read the rest of the thread about that crap; sadly detracting my most favored vehicle to date a 1994 Suburban.
The 2000s? Getting better especially Japanese cars.
So pls tell us about your lasts forever zero maintenance beater?
Just look at resale values on most BMW’s and Mercedes.
