    Really only protects you for about ten years. It’s not like they’re suddenly going to become repairable at the 5 or 10 year mark.

      thus the actual answer is “move to a place where you don’t need a car to live”, you don’t need to worry about the repairability of public transport vehicles and bikes are trivial to repair.

        Uproot your entire life, including job, family, social circle etc so you can be somewhere with better public transport.

        Or, piece of shit vehicle manufacturers keep their fucking nose out of how you modify/maintain/service a product that you BOUGHT with your own money.

        Trains and buses aren’t always the answer.

      The lack of independent repair hurts the used car market before the cars get that old anyway. Lack of repairability reduces the number of cars that make it into the used market in working condition and keeps prices higher.
