If a vehicle is in very good condition without any issues or trouble codes, why do people sell the car the way it is? Does it have to do with power, efficiency, versatility, what’s the magic word?
They may not need the car anymore, it may not fit their function, they may be bored of it...
A lot of late model cars on the market are lease returns.
Boredom or life changes.
I know I've bought and sold most of mine with no issues at all and low mileage just because something else catches my eye.
sold a 2003 accord because a co-worker wanted/needed it
sold a 2010 ford fusion to my neighbor because she wanted it
sold my 2015 jeep because of the hurtful werds on carkiller.com 😆
😆
That Jeep didn't deserve you. You're too good for it.
People often get bored of them or they need something that fits their needs. I gave my 2013 Civic to my brother after only 2 years and got a Camry even though the Civic ran perfectly fine but that’s because the civic was too small and I hated the way it rode. Back in 2001, my mom traded her Toyota Camry for a GMC Yukon XL even though the Camry was only 3 years old because she needed a bigger vehicle to hold me, my brother, my sister, my dad, and the nanny. Later on she was buying a new Honda Civic every 2-3 years because she’d trade in her cars over the littlest things such as fender benders or other little things she doesn’t like when the cars run perfectly fine. She has a 2014 Civic now and is wanting a large vehicle again for safety reasons so it’s only a matter of time before she gets yet another new vehicle. Some people are just nitpicky
Things happen in peoples' lives, needs change, a whole host of reasons; there's no magic answer.
I personally like to keep cars forever.
Some folks like a new one every year or often. That's one reason why people sell a good shape car.
To try a different car out maybe...and they probably have the money to buy a new one.
People get bored and want something new.
An example, my wife had a 2009 RX350 with not very many miles on it. She took it in for service and got a 2010 RX350 as a loaner car. The 2010 was the year of the new model change with redesign, etc. It wasn't long before she was driving a 2010 and the 2009 was sold to friends. By the way, the friends are still driving that 2009 she no longer wanted.
Yeah, all those reasons. But a good reminder that used cars can have problems. Scotty himself is always saying “xyz ... when that happens, get rid of the car, it’s not worth fixing.” So when I buy a used car, I always ask myself, what’s wrong with this car that’s “not worth fixing?”
According to the first owner, he did not like the acceleration of 1.3 Auris. He bought 1.6 Corolla instead. I miss acceleration too. And all that because of VVTI technology.
