We drive our cars until they get up and walk away from us. SO has a 1993 Chevy Lumina that belonged to his mother. It looks a mess but runs perfectly.

My car is a 2016 that's starting to have some issues. We're just starting to look to see if we can get a deal on a 2025 model.

Given that cars will easily last as long as payments, the only reason people would be underwater on trade ins is vanity MichMan Sep 2025 #8
