Must be nice to live where public transit works. 2h to get to and from work each way not including daycare dropoff just ain't it. Give me feasible public transit and a walkable city and I'll get rid of my car.

Only the rich or the dumb buy new. You can still get decent used cars for a fair bit cheaper.

Used car market is getting cooked. People are holding onto their cars longer. When they get into even a minor crash, they are often totalled because of how expensive parts are. Independent mechanics are being pushed out because there's nothing worth fixing.

The end result will be buy new or don't.
