re: When a vehicle is finally ready to be retired, it's usually not because of the drivetrain?

Some people just won't deal with things.

My mom had an AC issue on her Toyota. Still with 2 years on the warranty.

Dealer said it can be one of two things. Let's do the first one and if that doesn't fix it we will do the second.

First one didn't fix it so my mom just said frick it and got a new car.

I agree. I had a truck that the radio no longer worked and the air conditioning no longer worked, but it ran.

Speaking for myself on older vehicles I had, there is nothing worse than admitting defeat and having to bend over and take it from a mechanic on a job that I just don't have the chops and tools for. I would rather Mike Tyson just punch the shite out of me than pay thousands to someone knowing I'm getting ripped off from every angle (parts, labor, etc). So I tend to cut bait after about 5-7 yrs on my cars just to avoid this manhood gut punch.
