Well, especially these days, a good portion of the cars aren’t actually owned, but leased….. Aside from some folks who do so because they can write it off and it makes sense, the majority of the leasee I suspect do so, because they really can’t afford it, but want status rights..
4 years of included maintenance, on a 3 year lease. Translation.. Abuse the heck of out the car, turn the car in at the end of the lease. Internal damage can’t really be inspected out anyway…
I think only in SD I see more Mercedes, BMWs, and Audi’s then I do see Honda Accords or Toyota Camry’s…
