Plastic headlights look like shyte after only a few years on many cars. Interior pieces lose their paint, leather thins and fades and components prematurely wear out. Motors seem to last longer, no thanks to all the computer hardware and sensors that are used but once destroyed most are not rebuildable....just throwaways. In most modern cars, what looks like glass is plastic, what looks like metal is plastic and what looks like leather is vinyl. Example: Old school Porsche’s had gauges with actual glass and metal around it. Take a gauge apart, you will realize why they were expensive.
