Mines a 2019. 104k and had stuck lifter issue. Wish we didn’t go with all the electronic stuff. I used to be able to work on cars with points and distributor. So much stuff now I’m afraid I’d screw something up.
On top of all that, people just can’t afford a new mortgage (car payment). The prices have gone thru the roof in recent years.... and that includes USED cars.
I drive a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. Runs great. The only money put into it (so far) is normal wear-and-tear issues. Once it becomes a money pit, then I’ll replace it. Maybe buy a Fred Flintstone car?
Not everybody is well off and just can’t afford to buy new shit every 5 years.
