This 👆👆👆 My dad taught me a car is simply to get you from point A to point B. Everything else is pointless (insert expensive). My jeep has 260k on her and rides cross country like a boss. I have amazing mechanics who duct tape the things they can and fix the things that need it. One day, old cars are going to be more valuable than all the bells and whistles… bc they can still be “worked on”. Then came along the climate change, inflation reduculous act. Buy an old car.
