Sure, but they’re still options for people who need a basic, functional car for a few years.
I’m not saying prices haven’t gone up, they have. But there are still affordable options and the service life of a semi-modern ice vehicle from a decent manufacturer is probably longer than it ever was.
Specifically, I saw options for cars around 10 years old, some newer, with less than 50k miles for around $7k.
Right. And those cars were one third of that price in 2019.
A junker like that isn’t something you’d expect to last longer than maybe a few years, it shouldn’t cost $10k+.

I would love to know where, because that’s what I’m looking for. Around me, for that price, it would have at least 120k miles
