pity them for they do not know any better

most people see cars as just a way to get around and dont know jack shit or dont care about how it works. they just hear "do the maintenance and ur good" or buy honda/toyota because they prioritize reliability so they dont have to touch it often (or buy korean because they dont know jack shit).
tl;dr normies have no reason to care as long as it turns on and gets them to work and back.

>>28862643
The people who can take care of their cars aren't going to sell them, because why would they? Most people are selling their car because there's something wrong with it

>>28862643
Find used cars with maintenance histories.
It's not that hard.
You can filter owners by race as well
White dudes usually are ok, but Mexicans with average IQs are usually the best unironically.

Eh got a Forester cheap because the woman then bought a Terracan with a tow ball already installed and was moving out

>>28862643
They do, but the well taken care of ones don't get put up for sale or sell instantly so you're only seeing the cars that were neglected

This, my car was on the market for all of 40 minutes before I bought it. You have to be quick and check constantly to find a good car because anything that’s been up for more than a few days is usually junk.

People dont take of there bodies why would they bother with a car?

I am blown away at the inate lack of curiosity of some. Going to Google what that medicine is?

I saw in a James Bond film where someone saw Bond's clean and well maintained car and said to Bond words to the effect of "a man takes care of his car in the same way he takes care of himself".

My car is filthy.

This. Got a Ranger with a fully-rebuilt engine with timing chains and piston rings and totally redone front end last year from one. It was the dude's wife's truck, and he brought it up to spec only for her to whine for a new vehicle. I swooped in on that thing like a fucking peregrine falcon.

>Why don't people take care of their cars?
Because when normies are faced with eating or servicing the car, the oil change will lose every time.

So most people don't realize this, but as an economy has tightening credit, people still need cars, so demand is inelastic. It is crucial to their livelihood. So if people still need cars but can't afford the one they want, they don't stop buying cars, but they move downmarket and bring their bad habits with them.

This means that the masses who used to just take the car to the dealership don't, and find mechanics too expensive to hire out, so why maintain the car? /o/ likes to screech and bitch about Cash 4 Clunkers, but that only killed 700k cars. Economic downturns silently total millions of cars mechanically every time it happens. They don't run cars forever, they consume them until they get sent to the crusher, shredded into scrap, and turned into a Chinese industrial accident years later.

You may have noticed the proliferation of old car content waxing poetic about the virtues of old cars. If you watch their history, they state they have rotated cars often (i.e. negative equity rollover) and now have settled on an old car. They caused this problem but want no blame, so they cope. They are now being returned to the buyer segment they belong to. The system is working as intended, but no one wants to be on the business end of that rebalancing.

The comments section isn't any better. Now you have a mass public that wants shiny new metal, but have the sourest of grapes now that money is expensive to borrow. If APRs crashed to 0% the next day, I guarantee this sentiment of rejecting new cars would evaporate overnight, Aside from the techbro subscription models, the consumer actually does like modern cars, detestable as it is to state. They asked for that shit to be plastered into the car, without realizing the costs involved to have it.

200+ mph divebomb? Impressive deal hunting. Even caught your prey.

>dont know jack shit or dont care about how...[their car]... works
It's worse than that. It's an aggressive demand to be ignorant of how it works. Like they're too high caste to learn anything so plebian as a vehicle that's one of the most complicated things man makes.

this. my car is 24 years old and i just wrench it when something goes wrong. I even buy OEM because i want my shit to last

>>28862643
People who take care of their cars don't sell them until they're only fit for scrap.

I treat my car like what it is; an economy commuter subcompact.
>chipped windshield? let it ride
>scratches and dents? adds character
>covered in pollen, dust, salt? just wait for rain
But fluids and tires get addressed like clockwork.

>Most people are selling their car because there's something wrong with it
Your best hope is "that something wrong" is only that they wanted a newer car.

(((Big Oil))) relies on car dependent societies like the US so they have to create a narrative that cars are just another necessity you must pay for and to never question about it i.e creating a fuckton of noise polluting highways and saying public transportation is dangerous because of niggers.

So you want me to spend full RRP on a brand new car, baby it for several years, and then sell it for what, a quarter of what I paid?
Sounds like cuck behaviour to me.

You're getting my driven hard, put away wet, never washed, sloppy seconds; or you're paying me 90% of what I paid 5 years earlier. Don't like it? Buy your own brand new car.

>when normies are faced with eating or servicing the car
normies are NEVER faced with this choice. it's between having food made for them or having their oil changed for them. for the money they could cook their own food and buy their own oil.
they would rather eat at mcdicks and risk driving their deathtrap on 20k mile old oil than pick up a wrench and a $25 bottle of wally world motor oil

>>28862643
Probably the same reason why people don't take care of their phones. It's a throwaway world.
