Why do you own such a vehicle then?
You must not fear it that much.
You must not fear it that much.
This is a direction all manufacturers are going into, so there is little actual choice. And buying used is not a real solution; where do tomorrow’s used vehicles come from?
To say nothing of the tradeoffs that come with an older vehicle (safety and pollution).
And let be real, the 60 years old car, while there are some aspects they do better than modern one, overall they are much worse than mordern car.
New cars are a want not a need. Well designed properly maintained cars can last a long long time. I ran into an old guy at my local coffee shop who has 550k on his 240 DL. Had to double take to make sure it wasn't klicks instead of miles. Chatted to him a bit, engine and transmission are all original and he gets notes on his car regularly with phone numbers of people who want to buy it.
In our house we have two Saturn SLs at 100 and 130k, a Saturn SW at 200k and a Sienna at 270k. Rounding it out a 2006 and 2016 DL650 V Strom w 66k and 16k.
I cringe at so much new car bullshit. Death of distraction free tactile interfaces with knobs and buttons, and where the fuck is the fucking parking brake?
There's no obligation to purchase such cars.
None of them have turned into pumpkins.
