>The age of the shitbox is upon us
Why are they going up in price? Are the shitboxes (especially Jap brands) the new collectible vehicles?

100% of all posts on this board are boomers complaining bout thos prices

It's solely because old shitboxes are being scrapped quicker than new shitboxes enter the used market.

Because "buy an old Goyota, they're reliable" is the only thing NPCs know about cars, hence the tax. You can literally get a newer, N52-powered BMW (I6, no direct injection, no turbo) with lower mileage for less than that, and I'd handshake that it'll be equally if not more reliable and actually not soul-crushing to drive or maintain (even maintenance parts like brakes are equal in price at this point).
Non-car folk won't even dig that deep at all, will just dismiss that with "well I heard they're expensive to maintain" then go spend nearly $10k on a 15 year old shitbox (of which, in 2010, a 1995 Corolla would've been a $2000 car by comparison, maybe even less)

With similar mileage? They're all $7-10k where I'm at with 80-100k miles, so OP's post for once doesn't appear to be cherry-picked. It's just the Yota tax.

New cars suck and they're stupidly over priced.

>>28604336 (OP)
Because new cars suck and cost more than they should. That effects the relative price of used cars. Inflation drove costs up so quick that used cars appreciated in value. At the end of the day that car will give you another 10 years or so of reliable service assuming you drive an average amount of miles every year so paying 9k for it is still a better deal than paying 30k plus for a new one that will probably be less reliable.

Pajeets are insane

sadly i doubt it,people realized that "old shitboxes" are the only way to get somenthing that isn't a disposable tablet on wheels

Being frugal is a fetish desu
These niggas honestly believe
that car will make it to 500k in the current year

Toyota is now the only standard in reliability. It once was just the gold standard, but normies fucking up every single other brand caused old Toyota's to be seen with reverence. Works for me because I'm looking to potentially get Into something else
