No kidding. Brilliant.
Sounds like a press toward another cash for clunkers scheme.
In the 1970s you had to trade your car in after five years because it had stopped running. Cars are much better made today, at least as far as reliability. Some of the engines were bigger back then, and the cars were heavier, but I for one am glad Toyota and Nissan exist.
Nobody wants EV cars! Nobody wants the new crap that is only good for spying on the owner and sending all that data (including conversations) to the Gestapo. Lastly, if one minor thing goes wrong, the whole car craps out and it takes a computer genius to fix the problem. I can’t think of one good reason to buy this stuff!
I had 317,000 miles on my 2004 Honda Pilot when I sold it. I still wish I had it back.
“an increasing number hitting more than 100,000 miles in their cars”
Since I learned to drive, I’ve had each vehicle I’ve owned for at least 200,000 miles.
100,000 miles is nothing on todays cars. I have just shy of 140,000 on my Toyota and will drive another 100K before buying another car. Cars are made much better today.
i’ve always driven my cars until the wheels fell off (so to speak) as long as repair costs were less than the value of the vehicle and less than payments on a newer vehicle ...
My motto: Buy them new, buy them nice, and drive them until the wheels fall off.
I don’t want a keyless car. I don’t want a car that drives itself. I am an intelligent person who knows how to drive defensively and safely. I don’t want a kill switch on MY car. It’s bad enough to be tracked by dang toll transponder because no more cash. I will keep personal control of whatever I can in my life as long as I can
