That's a good point. For me though I have had plenty of cars that only last a few months before I drag them to the junk yard. I've used lots of parts from them for cores to offset the cost of rebuilt parts I need to keep another of my cars going. I've also borrowed the car battery from a running car that I'm not using much for art and audio projects. Considering how much some of them had cost another $300 would not have mattered much.
