Car Sales Are Slipping Into Recession-Level Decline


They semi screwed up by making cars much better than say the 80s and 90s. With the rising costs of vehicles and their guaranteed fast depreciation, people are hanging onto perfectly functioning cars for 10+ years.

This is us. I own two vehicles. One is nearly 20 years old and the other is over ten years old. Nothing wrong with either. Until repair cost and reliability become an issue I am not getting a new vehicle.

this. It is easy to get 150k on a vehicle with minimal maint.

100k used to be a fluke.

A truck or car has a very long life now
