I used to pay $500 for a car with 60,000 miles on it and drive it past 100,000 miles. Pay $35 for a tune-up every 15,000 miles, oil change and lube, including grease job for $10, run a set of tires bald and pay $50 apiece for 4 new ones. Never had problem with dash cracking because I parked it in the garage.
Now you can't touch a car with $3,000 that'll run the same miles as the old ones For $500.
Wife's 2001 car needed a new Cat. converter at 70,000 miles... cost $1,000 to replace. 2003 truck needed new computer at 50,000 miles for $800 and didn't cure the problem. Spent another $500 to finally cure the problem.
Granted, wages weren't as high back then but you could do most repairs yourself if lacking funds.
