Maybe so, but parts are super cheap.

I still daily drive my trusty ol 1986 El Camino. It is at 367,000 miles now. 99% of the time, when we go on a local errand, be it to get a prescription refilled, out to dinner, or to visit my MIL that lives 95 miles away, we take the El Camino. Only if we have another person or couple with us do we go in my wife's car, the 2017 Macan.

I commuted in my Elky for over 25 years, but now my commute is a 14 step walk down the hall to my home office.

If for some reason someone had some large object in California that I wanted, I would drive out and get it in the Elky. I trust it 100% to make any trip.
