    I mean it’s great that you personally have a 15-year-old reliable car. And yet people are still buying brand new cars every single day.

    It’s almost as though your personal preferences and property have absolutely no relevance in the buying habits of others.

      I think you vastly overestimate how many people buy new cars. Most new cars are bought by the same group of people year after year. Almost 75% of cars purchased in America yearly are used. It’s really only a specific class of people who can afford to buy new cars. It is not the norm.
