Why do people use old style cars even though car prices are so cheap in America?

Cheap? You think $60,000 is cheap? Because the old cars don't need a computer, are easier and cheaper to fix, can run 300,000 miles without a recall. Unlike these new cars that you can't fix anything on them yourself. You have to go to the Stealership and get taken to the cleaners for a minor problem. Plus the old cars are just plain cool.

Give me an older car anytime. If anything goes wrong on a newer car, the dealership will have to connect it to a computer to find out exactly what's wrong with it. Most manufacturers only stock spares for about 8 to 10 years after the specific model was released. Which means difficult and very expensive repairs.

An older car, let's say 25+ years old, is much easier to fix. The less electronic motors and controls it has, the easier it is.

As for some cars in America some of them are cheap especially some used cars but if you want to new car that is another story. As for older cars they’re build better & easier to maintain & as for new cars they aren’t built well, have smaller engines, cheaper parts & cost more to buy & insure as well.

Where did you get your info from? Cars aren't cheap over here.

They are not cheap , and I like my old car its fun to drive a 3/4 ton pick up will run you 70,000 bucks these days , anything cheap is what we call a throw away car because they do not last very long the new stuff is low quality compares to old and what i mean by that is quality of metal stuff is thinner and of less quality thats why you will see them all rusted out 3 years after you bought it

There are many vehicles that are better than the more current models. They do not have as much electronics and so called safety features. I do not know where you shop for cars but car prices are not cheap.

Cars are not cheap in America. The average price for a new car is equivalent to the annual salary for many Americans.

[FunkyMonkee]

If the old car still works, why get rid of it? Some people like the classics.

[FenixG45]

Old cars were built to last, not be thrown away every 5 years

Nobody can afford the payment on a newer vehicle

$100,000 for a new pickup is not cheap.
