How about repair costs? Those seem to have gone up exponentially. I just had to repair an LED center brake light. No bulb since, hey, LED. I had to replace the module. $125 bucks for a freaking center brake light. Had to wait a day for the part since, naturally, nobody had one in stock. Cars used to more affordable to buy, maintain, and run. Now they’re just a drain on the wallet. Sigh.
