Of course, many of us know that cars are depreciating assets, especially if we buy them brand new, and surely some geographical locations have more options for used cars or a better market for used cars than other geographical locations.
i have a XJ jeep (look it up) that is the most dependable thing ive ever driven. put it in 4WD and if there at least 1 axle with a wheel on that is still attached to the vehicle it it will move.
contrast with my newer jeep where when a wheel sensor went out i lost abs/4wd/traction control. like what if i lost 4wd because a sensor goes out on a trail?? wtf. not that i off road it (the newer one) its a pavement queen. XJ is for tthe fun stuff.
anyway vent mode off.
nowadays i dont buy a vehicle for its longevity, i buy it for the safety tech. the wife and i want a car with the latest safety tech (360 cam, auto everything). bonus points if i can flip it 22 times and walk away.
