What I have noticed here is that the used car prices for a normal vehicle have gotten rather outrageous, but it’s value as a trade-in has dropped. I have an ‘05 Buick that I’ll keep as long as I can. If anyone is going to take a beating on prices, I’ll do the best I can to see that it is the dealer, not me.
That ‘05 Buick the entire front clip with the motor/transaxle cradle, steering and driveline is a separable and very rebuildable module with common parts shared across many years and production units. You oughta be able to source parts enough to keep that car on the road until you flat don’t need one, anymore.
