So what's your point? You have to drive something usually. Pick
whatever works for you. I used to buy new. In recent years I've gotten
steals on used vehicles. Car companies are aware of your cunning plan.
They have tended to raise the price of repair parts in an effort to
encourage people to dump old iron. Eventually, the Chinese will
dictate price.
