My first car. I miss that nigger like you wouldn't believe. Plowed it through a brick fence, and there was barely a scratch on the bonnet. Drove it home without a problem. Car lasted me almost 25 years until the wiper motor died out. Yank mutts could never build such a stunning piece of machinery.

Regulations. That's why vehicles are so heavy and expensive now, too. I'd like to see it all go away. I want airbags outlawed. I don't want crumple zones, either. I want everyone behind the wheel to know that if they fuck up, they could die or be permanently injured. They'd either stay off of their phones or they'd be removed from the gene pool. Imagine a world with reasonably priced cars. Some of us lived there. We need to go back.

hate to break it to you, but the reliable is mostly a meme
>but in the 3rd world you see toyotas with 500k miles
yes they're under-stressed engines, especially the older 4 cylinder manual transmission ones, but plastic, rubber, belts, and hoses decay, and unless you're doing the maintenance yourself, and there's a bunch of similar cars in the junk yard you can get free parts for, then the maintenance bills will become too high. other anons are right about the cash for clunkers disaster, but the high cost of parts and mechanic labor in the usa (especially after 2020) would have taken most of these cars off the road.

I wouldn't trust the new economy turbo engines, all those hoses and seals break down after a decade.

idk about 300k. But yes it will hit that 200k mark.

Emissions and mileage standards mostly.
>Direct injection fouling (like on the ford Ecoboost).
>High compression leading to faster component wear (for example, the Ford Ecoboost).
>Overactive variable timing (Like with the Ford Ecoboost)
>Weight reduction taken too far (i.e., coolant channels cracking on the Ford Ecoboost).
>Overly complicated designs attempting to remedy the above issues (the intercooler condensation issue on the Ford Ecoboost is a great example).
>Optimistically long oil change intervals causing increased wear (real world example, the timing chain stretch on the Ford Ecoboost).
>All this packed into a smaller footprint to reduce overall vehicle size (another example is the Ford Ecoboost where the water pump is often located inside the engine block.)

shareholder value doesn't go up as fast if the engine is reliable. I drive a 90s pickup with almost 300k kms (186k miles). I'm sure it will last another 300k before it gives out and I will literally never buy a new car even when that happens. I will search the ends of the earth for older vehicles. Any car made after 2005 is slop. Any motorcycle made after 2010 is slop.

We didn't "lose" anything. It's called planned obsolescence. They don't make them because it's bad for business.

They're disposable, but they're not simple. AC and radio used to be optional. Manual transmission was cheaper.

I'm in a kind of similar industry to automotive when it comes to the sales side. Our dealers get a 1 year floorplan to basically get a semi-free loan to sit on equipment until they have to buy it. Interest kicks in at 6 months, they have to buy it from Wells Fargo at 12 months. That or continue to pay Wells interest. The idea is to turn inventory and never pay interest or get stuck with burning up you cash on hand.
The way I understand it is auto is similar but it is just a 3 month floorplan and then you have to buy it after that. I'm sure they have holding companies that buy it and they charge themselves a lower rate.

Cars WERE disposable commodities prior to the reliability peak in the early 90s. Are you too young to remember the late 70s and 80s chevys and plymouths and the like? Have you ever even seen a british car lol? Cars being reliable enough that you could reasonably expect to drive them for more than a decade without careful garage keeping and meticulous maintenance only came into existence in the 90s. Datsuns were turning into flintstones mobiles in like 5 years back in the old Z and 510 era. Quarter million mile all original EF civics and E90/100 corollas were the outliers in automobile history, not the norm by a longshot.

The difference between a good reliable engine from the 90s and 00s and a slightly more effecient engine from today is negligible. It's more environment to just keep the older thing running. This is why looking back Cash for Clunkers was a fucking disaster. It fucked over people who needed cheap working cars, plus all of the parts from all of those cars that could have been salvaged and used for decades.

No. They weren't disposable. They were well used and resold cheaply but they weren't disposed of. I am old enough, I bought cars and motorcycles for $500 that I drove back home and for years after but the boomers selling them were always happy somebody was buying something they didn't want anymore. Disposable means you throw it away, now people will give their busted cars away for free to a junkyard just to have it towed. It was our generation that bought all the cheap reliable cars and drove them into the ground, boomers still have some of the best kept cars I know. I have a family friend with a Toyota Avalon almost 300k miles and nothing leaks. I drive a 25 year old BMW that I bought for $500. How many cars from 2026 will be on the road in 2051?

>a Toyota Avalon almost 300k miles and nothing leaks
Let me guess, mid 90s era?
>I drive a 25 year old BMW that I bought for $500
Yeah, so end of the 90s era reliability peak. It sounds like you were mostly active during that era but not before, because if you were you'd know how old rusted out sub 10 year old rangers and plymouth reliants and ford fairmonts got treated when their trannies started to eat themselves after a few years and 50k miles. Again, before advances in coatings for paneling and metallurgy for engines and transmissions it was very unusual that a car made it beyond 10 years from date of sale. Sub 100k cars ending up in demo derbys or permanent lawn ornaments were the norm. They were 100% disposable. For every car manufactured from 1950-1990 that survives, there are tens of thousands that went to the scrapper before their 10th birthday.

Yeah you're right, I'll admit I was in the game late enough to already know what was worth keeping on the road. But the thread and OP is about how we lost those vehicles. We had it, we could make vehicles that would last as long as you cared to keep them without it costing more than just leasing something new. People weren't treating them as disposable, it took government intervention to get a lot them off the road.

The real solution to "muh reliability" is $6500 Chinese cars. You can literally just replace the entire vehicle. Also they can fully automate the production process now so labor cost is not even a concern. It's purely a steel box with copper/aluminum motor. You can also lease the battery separately from the vehicle - you could always throw in a "backup" 12kwh battery if there's something wrong with your 40kwh battery. Problem solved forever.
Or just make it legal to drive Changlis within the city.

Cars never made any sense. You're paying some absurd amount, in Canada it cost $48,000 with tax for a hybrid Accord. And they have unforeseen defects, and as another user pointed out, all the rubber will fail in 10 years
I've replaced so many fucking ball joints in my lifetime It's unbelievable. Cars are just a money pit for absolutely stupid people. Maybe made sense back when Americans made a lot of money in the 1970s or something. Now it's just a way to take your entire paycheck. It's a second mortgage.
If everyone in your country is broke, and you doubled the money supply, then you'll need some cheaper cars, not more expensive ones

Look up the term enshitification. Or planned obsolescence.

Now look at an engine, and they now use high temperature phenolic plastic that breaks and warps and cracks because it saves a few grams of engine weight. Meanwhile you overtighten an oil filter and the plastic housing snaps and you have a 3,000 dollar bill. If you can afford new, lease it. All new cars are designed to be disposable. And once the warranty is up the repair costs are extensive.

2012 for Honda Accord.
2013+ is when they started putting CVTs in everything.
Now everything is CVT+turbo, which is embarrassing because it defeats the whole purpose of buying a Honda in the first place.. the whole point is that it Never breaks.. they can blame CAFE but I bet they tried to turn CVT replacement into a profit center..
Honda IMA was cool, but hybrids are just too expensive. Hybrid should be 100% standard by now. Toyota's hybrid drivetrain is cool as well, but again, too expensive
In Canada you pay an extra $50 per month for the hybrid, but you'll only save that much in gas if you drive quite a bit more than average

The newer Hondas also regularly blow the head gasket. Hondas are defective now.

In Ontario we don't pay for electricity. Which is why I favor electrics, but they are 1,000/month here.

Canada is allowing some chinky cars in, but it'll be a limited to 50,000 cars/year or something

The alternative is paying $600 for a new civic, 300 and insurance, 300 for gas, you'll be paying 1200 per month for a compact car

Another retard. Charging an electric car is like $30/CAD per month here. It's like $1.50 per 100km.
But our EVs are expensive.

I've seen cheap EV leases in the USA, like that Vinfast (Vietnamese garbagemobile) for $249/mo. Some Americans get killed on electricity rates, though, so it's not necessarily an advantage (unless you also have solar).

I think there was an engineering curve we reached with cars like this. A curve in which vehicles were manufactured to last a long time and be easily fixed to vehicles becoming overly engineered increasing repair costs and the chance something can go wrong. I can remember being a teen with my first car and I could repair it myself with a service manual and my dad's tools. Now everything runs on a computer and you need expensive diagnostic equipment to fix stupid shit like sensors which cost hundreds of dollars.

10 years working electronics is fucking great. Us shit brakes the second you leave the shop. Not joking. Not mention your warrenty void the second you touch it.

We have Gewährleistungsrecht in Germany. 2 years of federal mandated warrenty, itls law. In the first year the trader has to prove the failure was caused by you. He has to fix it, replace the product or you can withdraw from the contract. In second year you have to prove the error was caused by him or the factory. For no charge.

Even for used cars, the trader can limit it to 1 year but you dont have to accept.

So the parts are perfectly fine. Its just americans being utter spastic retards not knowing how to maintain a car. Maybe you should have read the manual and check what are maximum and minimum temps you can use your car in.

German carmanufacturers test there cars from the arctic circel to the hotest deserts. So its user error.

Very slowly. Which is awful for your engine, especially when cold. I'm pretty sure my 2L diesel car would never reach peak oil temperature if I left it idling from cold. It takes at least 15 minutes of driving in 10c weather at 70 mph for my oil to reach peak temperature. (I have an oil temperature gauge.)

>>534999261
Keep idling your cold engine to warm up the oil and circulate it like your engine has carburetors.
>>
>>534999135
This discussion is retarded.
You should wait for a bit until the engine block is no longer frozen - you best do that in idle because the problem is not only cold oil but also tolerances that are off due to thermal contraction.
After a while you can drive off but not yet revv the engine up too much.

and how would this work?
maintenance is at a (licensed) 3rd party shop
I pay for warranty, which is like ~30-50€/month and the only money they get from me
and anytime anything breaks that is not a consumable, it gets replaced for free under this warranty
which happened exactly twice since i bought the car

not sure what's so difficult to believe about that
there is literally no reason to make their cars shittier as long as the customer pays for it (which they do)

Load does not matter much. Fuel consumption does. More RPM means more fuel consumed means more heat generated. Idle RPM is like half of what you get when driving leisurely and this is roughly the amount of heat your engine will output in comparison.

most manufacturer don't even offer that even if you wanted to pay

>>534999683
>they make money on 3rd party repairs too
??
but I don't pay for repairs anon
that's what the warranty is for
regular maintenance doesn't need any parts, usually
>it's priced into the CAR you cretin
but then OPs argument would be stupid by construction

because that would be the proof that they indeed make cars that do hold out for >300k km
and they are priced for this
so what's the problem then?

Buddy doesn't know what makes the oil used in an engine operated by explosions warm lmao
>>
>>534999906
We get 5, 7 and 10 year warranties without having to pay extra, stupid.
>>534999894
Lmfao your engines fall apart even under routine maintenance. German gas engines are worse than American gas engines. It's absolutely hilarious. The shittiest shitheap US pickup will outlive a G*rm*n car.

>>534999899
>The engines on both of mine are good as new after 20 years. Go figure.
Good engines then. They would be in even better shape if you lived in a warmer climate.

You have to fight in court tooth and nail to get the warrenty throu. Meanwhile in euroland it just happens.

Kek.

I found this old "Carr" in a barn agreed to pay 25 million dollars for it.

Then after I got the Carr I falsified the owner documents and said that barn was a Nazi death camp and he still owes me for 6 million dead jews.

Except not, retard. You had to have a government make your warranties work because you're all naturally low-trust scammers by default. G*rms would never understand an honor system.

It's a kike system where Aaron Carr is threatening Zuckerberg with warr-?

>They would be in even better shape if you lived in a warmer climate.
Most definitely, especially since I hardly ever rev them beyond what they are optimal at.
Engines are the least of my worries though. The rust on the other hand... Visiting southern states and looking at shiny cars that you are used to seeing full of holes is demoralizing.

See that was funny until I realized Aaron Carr is Satoshi naka-moto_Carr and he's more successful then Zuckerberg because he doesn't trust Jews with his money.

Umm motocar?
That's racist.

It's like the joke of the retard left never dies.
>>
Then you see why Zuckerberg really hates Aaron because he was his inspiration for success so no one else must have it. Why he pays people to shill him as a Holocaust victim of the events.
>>
But your all doing it.
Your literally being Hitler Zuckerberg is a Holocaust victim.

"Carr's" yellow vests vs Zuckerberg.
Like Nazi brown coats.

That's not what we meant and you know it goyim.

I looked at the rock from his prospective and realized he was giving us false hope about us ever being able to make enough hate crime laws for Jews to make him stop hating them.
Zuckerberg created Facebook because of a woman who didn't love him.
Latter you had to admit that was a lie after Aaron said you falsified his identity to a female to nonperson person him in damage control of what a subversive kike you are?
>>
>>534997912
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

go look at the price of housing or food compared to back then, there is no single inflation rate, FUCK OFF
>>
It shouldn't be possible to turn the word hope into Adolf.

How do we make a word crime out of this?
>>
Go touch grass.

Mr. A.R.C. "M.A.R.C. and Mark started facebook.
Then Zuckerberg falsified is identity when he got angry about his name.

Mr. Reid. Reed grass reid paper.
You started facebook you are the blank book before Zuckerberg coded it.

No the goyim is not allowed to win the argument about the intellectual property rights of selling me a blank book.
>>
So blow it out your gr_Ass.

Do you think that's fucking funny goyim?
do you think I am fucking laughing?
>>
No that barn in Davidsonvlle was a fucking Nazi death camp where they put stars of David on the jews. Not where zuckerberg got the idea of creating a website called Facebook. Correct the record the Holocaust victim must be believed.

Eat shit and die.

Uhhhh goyim!

6 billion calls of about a Carrs extended warranty.

How's that going trying to Bann me you kike fuck.

He's so antisemti just try not to validate him as this being acceptable behavior.
>>
>>534981946
because it is not profitable you dumb
>>
You realize at .25 cents a call at 6 billion calls that's 150 million dollars of phone calls fighting with Zuckerberg about 25 million dollars he owes you.

This is getting ridiculous.

Oy vey what about the 6 billion phone calls Shlomo?

Your the fucking devil.
And you owe me kike.
