    When you buy a junk brand it loses value very quickly. Too many people are buying things to look a certain part in society. They really can’t afford it.

      the country was designed to require cars.

      then car manufacturers quit making affordable vehicles to cater to the rich. Meanwhile the government forbid cheap foreign EVs to protect US car makers behavior.

      Quit blaming people for needing what the culture requires.

      Doesn’t matter the brand, cars traditionally don’t appreciate in value. Wisdom always was that it starts to lose value as soon as you drive it off the lot, because of the wear it takes through regular use. Then the pandemic hit, and a shortage of new cars, which drove up the used car (AND new car) market. It’s all madness IMO, but people with the power to do so (corpos and private individuals alike) are trying to hang on to that bubble for dear life.
