    Ok, so there is no public transit here and even though I walk and use my peddle powered bike for in town whenever I can, I would not be able to make a living without a car like thing. No one with half a working brain is thinking that their daily driver is an investment. Hell a lot of people (me in the past) spend more working time in that car then not. A car like device is not a optional luxury for most people in North America. This is sadly the world we live in outside of major (and even not all major) cities.

      A car doesn’t need working heat and doesn’t need to be cosmeticly pleasing. All it needs to do is get from one point to another

        And nether of those things are needed for a car to be unaffordable. It is like you don’t know what a car costs that works. used prices for absolute garbage is high due to the fact most of the market can not even think of buying new cars. Less new cars means less used cars later.

        yes it does, for safety reasons. I’ve been in scary situations with windshield fog before, I won’t drive a car without a working heater
