Cars in the 1920s were made to last a lifetime. How long do you expect your car to last before you sell it?

Collectors pay top dollar for cars made in the 20s.

Back then automakers took pride in their product.

Now, anybody driving a car more than 10 years old doesn’t want to invest a dime in it because it’s virtually worthless on the used car market.

These days, filling the tank of a 10 year old car doubles its value!

And does it seem like we’re getting raped when we pay the money for what we believe is quality, but the car doesn’t end up lasting any longer than a Yugo?

Am I the only one that feels rage about the poor quality & workmanship and the high prices we’re forced to pay because of government mandated bumpers, lights, gismos, gatdgets, bells & whistles?

My consumer math assignment says : ” Mr. Johnson found on the internet that his car had a ‘trade-in value’ of $4295 but a ‘retail value of $9110. Check the internet and find out what these values mean and why such a difference exists.” But I have looked for that and all I can find is the trade in values for specific cars…please help me?

Quest asked:


I have heard of this but what is the update on this situation. Are there specific cars that can go in the lane? Is this law now out of date?
