I mean, that's how it's always been, isn't it? When I was young, admittedly some time ago, there would be that one guy where you lived who had his own business, and bought a new car every three years

Literally everyone else had second hand cars. Peer pressure and advertising are the only things that have changed this

In fact, cars are far more reliable now so it makes more sense to buy second hand now

Incidentally, I used to have a rule about 20 years ago that I'd never buy a car between 5 and 8 years old because that's when everything started to go wrong. After that, all the shitty bits had been replaced!

I wonder if that's changed or shifted now
