Buy a CPO verhicle from a Toyota or Lexus dealer. Clean carfax, one owner, maintenance records clean. Then drive this car for the next 20 years and that's it!
How much is the plastic present every where in the car. Hibrid is on the market for years and years
The Big Government (especially leftists/socialists) is always a root cause of all problems!
Not trying to open the debate wider here but. Emission laws and features are a constant because technology will always improve.
But raw materials increasing forcing price growth disproportionately higher than wages. People will just not be able to keep up and buy new anymore.
While you're right, wages aren't going up. This can't sustain itself, between car prices out of control and housing, on top of everything else.
Stop buying new cars. Problem solved.
I wouldn’t swap my 2003 dual cab Toyota hilux with the 3.4v6, 5sp manual, vinyl floors, manual windows, manual mirrors for any car.22yrs old now and will outlive anything new on the market.
Problem is all the extra electronics in modern cars. I just want a fast awd sports car without all the fancy gadgets. Give me maximum performance, I'd gladly sacrifice all the fancy interior
Because people are willing to take out the loan and pay those high prices.
No one asked for flat screens on every dash. If anything, consumers are asking for more basic transportation options. Such as the new Toyota truck.
Computers are cheap and they get cheaper over time. You need to give more examples of unecessary costs.
Personally, I have been thinking about joining the Amish and getting a horse.
Not we, I demand the basics from what a Ford Pinto had in 1971.
Tesla doors are not designed for emergency situations.
I dont want screens
I dont want lane departure warning
I dont want parking sensors
I dont want heated seats
I dont want cooled steats
I dont want power seats
I dont want the bad visibility that comes with thousands of airbags
I dont want sat nav
I dont want cameras
I dont want blind spot monitoring
I dont want lifetime transmission fluid
I dont want traction control
I dont want stability control
I dont want the manufacturers to be able to tell me what i can and can't do with a bought and paid for vehicle.
I want
Great visibly
A couple air bags
Abs
Manual transmission
A/C
Power windows
Power heated mirrors
Ease of maintenance
Big fuckin knobs that i donf have to look at for my heater and stereo controls!!!!
edit
I dont want automatic headlights!!
I dont want rain sensing wipers!
I dont want adaptive cruise control!
I dont want any of this garbage!!
Vehicles in the late 90s were perfect. Easy to maintain, modern enough, and extremely reliable.
Also, if manufacturers could make it so that your Guage lights only come on when your headlights are turned on thatd be great because there are way too many people driving around these days on the DRLs with the rear lights off at night because most drivers these days seem to not be the slightest but capable of actually driving thatd be great. It's a huge hazard and way too common. Can belive no motoring journalists have mentioned this ever.
we need to go back to the 90's then hahaha
This guy's facial expressions as he talks looks like he's eating sour patch kids.
Car manufacturers forgot that most of the people are using cars to get from point A to point B, most of people are not buying cars as a status symbol. Very soon most of the manufacturers will get in trouble and start closing. Chinese manufacturers they know this and they're producing good affordable cars and they will kill competition
more expensive, less reliable, more expensive to repair, the executives know what the consumers want
If all new car buyers would boycott the dealerships for 6 months or a year they would be forced to reduce prices. We all should just bite the bullet if not absolutely necessary and dont buy a new vehicle for at least a year.
A jeep gladiator is not worth 60k new
Yet somehow americans just keep buying at those insane prices
