Why The American Car Fleet Is Getting So Old

1. When a car is priced as 2 years of salary. People will buy second hand with smile and 80% discount

2. 7:27 iPhone 9?

3. The real story…. People don't want to drive computers 😮

4. The iseecars data is crap. But what's worse is that their results are mischaracterized.

5. poor people cant afford new cars and are terrified of going into debt

6. Cash for clunkers! 👹

7. I love how they're digging their own grave 🪦

8. Lower the price of cars!

9. Maybe people like paid for assets vs over priced overly computerized junk

10. iPhone 9???

11. 300k runs like new. Original everything except brake pads

12. I want cars with less tech.

13. I still love my 01 taco.

14. I've never been able to afford a new car…besides which, I prefer one that's 3 – 4 years old, better broken – in…

15. Did they get paid by Toyota?…😂

16. Is there some requirement I don’t know about that says we must keep buying new vehicles? Id prefer to just keep mine.

17. Why? Greed is the answer.

18. Im so broke I dont even want a car anymore. Ill stick to 500$ used motorcycles from the 70s and 80s

19. But driving 55 on the freeway saves lives engine wear and you can smell the girls perfume at the beach

20. A 1960 chrysler straight six with mechanical lifters can last up to 400 thousand miles with leaded fuel

21. Cars are safer with airbags and no frames and engines are aluminium and plastic and cost as mush as grand mothers House

22. Some of us don't want all the new tech they are stuffing into new cars. Duh. All of that new tech is designed to increase the cost of maintenance. That is what it is for, no matter what they sell it as. Its about money, and that's why old cars are better. They're a better purchase decision.

23. You refer to the pandemic but your stats are from '16. Hardly trending.

24. I don't need an onboard computer in my car. They need to have variants that don't have all this crap, and lower the prices…

25. I'll save you the suspense. They're too expensive!

26. Cant afford new car and old cars are better then ev

27. 7:29 there is no iPhone 9

28. Because paying a mortgage on a car and 2x 3x of 4x as much for a place to live isnt worth it.

29. Because there hasn't been a car made that's worth owning in 20 – 30 years…

30. New cars are overpriced, parts are overpriced, over engineer to fail after warranty period. Greedy CEOs

31. Giving that we can hardly afford to sleep. Yea ama keep my old car.

32. New cars are just too expensive to own and operate. The average cost of a new car in 2024 is nearly $48,000. That doesn’t include sales taxes, mandatory insurance, personal property taxes, fuel and maintenance. The average person may find it unreasonable to spend almost over $1000 per month for a new car when the average rent or mortgage well exceeds $1000 per month.

33. 128,000 Miles on my Tesla Model 3

34. My Ford Explorer has over 200k, and so does my Toyota, I also had a Camaro Z28 and sold it with 180k miles, literally never touched Anything on it!

35. These videos are so out of touch, they speculate as to why the market is the way it is and miss every time. The real problem is #1 the economy and #2 car companies are focusing on luxury instead of common man cheap reliable vehicles. As for the economy, if I can barely afford a trip to the grocery store I sure as hell can't afford a brand new luxury electric vehicle. As for the luxury… I don't need that either, I don't need top of the line speakers, or a freaking TV in my center console, I don't need buttons on my steering wheel, I don't need electrically adjusted seats. Someone needs to make a NEW cheap car that runs for a very long time without all the damn useless bells and whistles.

36. Greedy corporations: why are old cars on the road?
    Everyone else: mind your business!

37. For years I had access to a company vehicle that I could take home. We weren't supposed to use them for personal use but if I ran a few stops on the way home who's going know 😊. I have two sportscar (Mustangs) at home which were just weekend cars (89 Saleen and a 99 Cobra). After retirement my 25 year old 99 Cobra with 110k miles on it became my daily driver. I only drive about 50 a week now and the car runs like a champ. Plus access to my wifes 8 year old Rav 4. I have no plans on buying a new car.

38. The thought of going to a dealership makes me not want to buy a car 😅

39. Message received: buy Toyota or Honda. Somehow I always choose crappy cars that breakdown by the time I finish the 5 year loan and some even BEFORE 😢 Nissan Versa, Chevrolet Sonic and Hyundai Tucson 👎👎👎👎. I just want a reliable car 😭

40. After what Biden did to the economy (with CBS support) we can't fford new cars.
    Vote better, live better.

41. i see a new car today and what i see is a smartphone on wheels. i dont need that.

42. Give me a late 80's/early 90's Toyota Camry wagon and I'll drive it to death. I've had four and sent one off to the junkyard when i moved out of state bc it was junk at that point. I have one again now though that's coming up on 300,000 miles. May never get there bc it's my backup vehicle but they sure are trusty, cheap cars and boy do I love 'em!

43. Toyota Land Cruiser. model 80. 1994. Three Hundred Nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety miles. No issues. Replaced starting motor once. Replaced generator twice. Brake pads. Motor never opened. Driven every day. 30 years.
