I currently drive a 9 year old Toyota Corolla. I'm keeping the car because it's fine, no troubles, low mileage, inexpensive. The last new car I bought was about 6 years ago, and at the time, I felt (hoped) that this was the last conventional, gasoline fueled car I'd ever buy again (I tend to buy new cars with a reputation for value, take good care of them, and drive them for 15 years). But another reason I'm holding off on buying a new car is that I sense a huge shift in car technology coming up, and I don't want to buy in a transitional period. When I looked around a year ago, the electric range was 60-90 for used electric cars, as much as 250+ for recent (but expensive) models. Self driving and navigating features may also be on the way. It seems that range is expanding rapidly and new capabilities for self-navigation are closer to being mainstream, while prices are likely to drop substantially for better range. I guess I just don't want to buy a new DVD player just before they go obsolete. I kind of doubt my experience or motivation is the norm. But if it is so, this may a one time temporary delay as people are reluctant to buy during a one-time huge transition in the market (though alternatively, cars could become more like computers and cell phones, with such rapid technical progress that it becomes the norm to trade in or up frequently).
