Add in cars being totaled out a lot easier due to "efficiencies" in manufacturing making the cars disposable and of course rising natural disaster events that flood/burn cars.
- Scoundreller 3y agoIn the rust belt, cars have become less disposable every decade. Coatings/paint/corrosion-inhibition have gotten wayyyyyy better. I’ll take the brand new modern car over anything from the 60s,70s,80s or 90s for durability.
- abfan1127 3y agowhile some cars are disposable... in practical terms, engineers designed crumple zones which make modern cars significantly safer. Crumple zones are not repairable because it "crumples". Couple that with air bags, and its easy to make replacement cost less than repair.
