“A lot of new cars need a lot of parts too. Quality has been going downhill with many manufacturers.”
I had to repair a 15 year old clothes dryer. Used parts for a 3 year old one to do so. The three year old one had multiple issues when I bought it broken. Better to keep the 15 year old one running, than the 3.

A few years ago I had a fridge go out in a rental. Called my repair guy and said, “It’s 16 years old, I should just replace it”. He said, “I’m telling you right now, I have to work on more 3 year-old fridges than 16 year-old ones. Let me look at it first.”
Replaced the temp control dial and it worked fine. Saved a thousand bucks and tenant had a fridge sooner without lifting a finger.
