Agree.
I have bought one new vehicle in my life, I drove it for 17 years, about 170,000 miles. But there were quite a few used ones before that.
I replaced that one with a used vehicle that was 3 years old, drove that one for about 15 years but since I am retired now and only average 4,000 miles a year, I put a lot less miles on that one. I did a lot of internet research on that one before I bought it.
And the most recent one I bought, did a lot of research on that one too, but have less than 3 years on it and less than 10,000 miles so can't comment much on that one yet. It is not an EV, bought it used. I will find out later if that one was a good idea, but so far it is exceeding my expectations.
If you are spending many months of your income on something, I would expect a lot of research to be done.
I apologize to the OP for continuing this off-topic discussion further.
