Car buying is never going back to normal

[Vern B]

Plenty of people are making $1000 plus a month car payments and financing
company’s are going 8 and as long as 10 years to finance a vehicle.

The accountant in me says that isn’t something that can continue long term, especially when they can’t build a vehicle that doesn’t turns to rust before 5-7 years.

Last new car I bought was in 1990, Cavalier Z24. Only had it 1 year. Everything since then has been 3-5 years old. Wife bought a 2002 Passat new, total POS that we lost our butt on in '07 when we bought her TSX new. Still have that car. Looks like it's 1 year old and runs like a fine watch with 135k on the clock.
No new cars in the foreseeable future here.
