Values for older cars with less tech has shot through the roof I feel like. Recently I was a Ford Excursion go for $100k[1] which is fucking bonkers for a 15+ year old Ford product. And looking at the market for older Land Cruisers is just as hot, used to you could get a mid 90's LC for around $10k, now they go for $20-30k. Even my 2009 4Runner, you used to be able to find the nicest one around for $10k and I bought mine for $14k with nice ones going for over $20k (keep in mind, for a 12 year old car at the youngest, usually with >100k miles). I think folks are getting fed up with these high tech cars.
- Mezzie 5y agoThe newer, high tech cars are a bitch to repair, especially given 2021's supply issues. Older cars are easier to keep on the road and cheaper to take care of, which are major concerns for most people. At this point, I'm glad I have the connections to get a cheap junker if I need it; my car is ending the end of its lifecycle and half the cars out there now are proprietary spy-machines.
