There’s another issue not discussed. Purchases of cars to remind people of their youth.
When I was young I owned a 1969 Plymouth Satellite. Sigh. I wish I still HAD that car. I stupidly sold it. Idiot!
I now have a big old Ford Crown Victoria. It’s not the Plymouth. But it will do. It’s BIG. It is a big old boat. Lots of room for almost anything in the trunk. Including Tony Soprano. Emergency Mobster release. Cruises in style. Not a great handler, but it gets me to where I need to go. Good off-the-line torque getting on the on-ramp. Eats gas like crazy on the city, OK on the freeway. Big old honest V-8. Got’s lots of luxury at a budget price.
Because it’s a taxi/police fleet car and old geezer’s car. But it still is fun to drive.
