> Especially considering most people trade their vehicles in every 8 years which would be when it starts to crap out. You forget that they sell those old cars to someone who typically resells them to someone else who then uses that car for another 10 years. If the car has to be junked that can't happen. If the battery needs to be replaced, the amount of money you get goes down significantly.
