Although I am not in the market for the kind of cars Harry was discussing, I learned the depreciation lesson three decades ago. We haven't bought a new vehicle since '93.
Paul's fun in driving comment I think can be placed at the figurative feet of two causes. First, there are certainly more vehicles on the roads these days ( many operated by people who are just crappy drivers). Second, a cheap econobox is far more capable than many of the 'hot' sports cars of our past. I was reminded of this a few years ago when i fixed up a Mk I Golf Cabriolet. It reminded me of how much fun those cars were. I certainly wouldn't want to give up my "Old Man's Car " for it, but it was entertaining.
As far as repairing the current generation of vehicles, don't discount the computer nerds to whom a car's computer is simply an opportunity. Someone built it and wrote the code, it can be replaced with something else.
