Modern Cars Are A Nightmare That Will Soon Haunt Used Car Buyers Everywhere
As cars get stuffed with more and more technology, today's new cars are in danger of becoming all-but worthless as soon as a complex component fails, making the used car market a minefield
Is there something you’ve got your eye on? Something you’d like to
poach from the classifieds when it gets old and cheap enough? Forget it,
unless you’ve got big cash reserves. Things like the complex electrics
in modern swivelling headlights or keyless entry systems,
emissions-reduction systems, active driver aids and more will be
ridiculously expensive to fix. Why bother at all? When the cars are a
decade old, all this tech is just putting your wallet at ever greater
risk of being violated.
One answer, of course, is to buy even older cars; simpler
cars with simpler engines. Stuff from the early 2000s and
pre-Millennium. Simpler usually means cheaper to fix. How does the
saying go? The simplest solutions are often the best. When it
comes to car makers, this nugget of old-fashioned wisdom has long since
been forgotten. And used car buyers like us are the ones who’ll end up
paying for it.
